Mediums Used
Jane Bohane is a materials-led, experimental artist that works predominately with metals, resin & glass in a most unusual & unique way.
The aesthetic in all her Sculptures is in the merging of the familiar with the unusual.
Jane works from a studio situated in The Surrey Hills, the beautiful surrounding countryside having a big influence on her work.
She walks daily with her dog and is often accompanied by seven sheep!
New works for 2018 use found objects and pieces from nature placed within modeled clay and then cast using the rubber mold method. Iron, Copper and Bronze resins.

The aesthetic in all her Sculptures is in the merging of the familiar with the unusual.
Whilst studying drawing at Camberwell College of Art, work evolved when challenged to “put the pencil aside” & look at drawing in a different way. Jane chose light & shadow, & began to make mixed media light boxes. Glass quickly became the preferred material & on graduating work evolved into medium & large sculptures, designed for outdoor spaces.
Exterior pieces are constructed within precise Corten & mirrored Stainless Steel frames enclosing an individual combination of glass shards or splinters. The glass is all hand-cut by Jane & the edge kept raw, exploiting its jagged beauty.
Interior works are created using found objects & natural materials entwining them with melted & twisted glass. The final work presented either in a frame or freestanding.
New work for 2018 uses all previous materials but modelling with clay and then casting the final piece into editions.
Glass by its very nature responds spontaneously to any light & Jane`s work has a presence in both dark and bright aspects.
