Meet Jane 🩵

Jane Clift lives in Alresford, Hampshire, where she creates three-dimensional sculptures that reflect on her time spent living in Devon. Largely self-taught, she draws inspiration from the River Exe, its marshes, and local wildlife. Each piece Jane creates is unique. Each sculpture begins with a single strand of wire, used to sketch the outline, which is then interlaced by hand to create the three-dimensional finished article. Her work can sometimes be abstract, but it is always recognisable.
