Bush Spirit II Sculptor Bio
Jane Dawson
I work to harness the light on the form so that my sculpture is never still, just poised-a history implied and a story about to unfold.
I grew up on an isolated and idyllic sheep property. I learnt to appreciate and respect the powerful interdependence of animals man and nature and to treasure the threatened species. My Bush childhood, love of horses , threatened and exotic wildlife, the human figure and my travels are powerful images informing my work.
