Connection
Inspired by the concepts of inner peace and wellbeing Laura Jane's collection of contemporary bronze and stone figures highlight the often overlooked and underappreciated energy in connection.
Ranging from small table top to stunning lifesize, each sculpture is powerful yet elegant, as such they suit both classic and contemporary surroundings. The use of unique patinas adds interest and individuality to each piece.
Be it with others, yourself, the sun, moon or earth - there's an energy in every type of connection which promotes feelings of wholeness and contentment. Her sculptures serve as beautiful visual reminders to tune into these affirming moments.
The open minded and thoughtful approach Laura Jane takes to both her work and the world can be attributed to her nomadic upbringing as a daughter to parents in the military and her ongoing passion for travel and culture.
An aspiring ballerina for many years, Laura Jane sort success in a corporate career following an injury. It was only when she met husband Sebastian she finally found the confidence and support to follow her dreams and lead a more creative and adventurous life.
Each original artwork is sculpted in clay by Laura Jane, then Sebastian, a highly skilled mould maker and an expert in casting creates a mould and casts these in their South Oxfordshire workshop. Hot cast bronzes are cast at specialist foundries using the lost wax method.
This vibrant creative couple specialise in bespoke sculptures as their combined skillset makes almost anything a possibility.
