Jane Hook
Like most artists, Jane works towards an articulation of her subjective experience within today’s contemporary world. Humanity is a narcissist and all of its energies go into sustaining its sense of self. Jane finds herself simultaneously compelled and repelled by the realities of our human condition. She explores issues of relatedness: to self, to other, to the world around us; how we live and understand our place.
Her sculptures are simple yet poignant statements, moving from grand landscapes of experience to explorations of the more subtle. She works mostly in the realm of the figure.
