Jane Mowat . Artist
Jane Mowat studied the History of Art at the Courtauld Institute, London University, before embarking on a career of teaching art in order to sustain her own creative practice. While working in wood in her studio, carving small forms and reliefs, and printmaking, Jane is emerging as a multi-disciplinary artist who explores the world in which we live through visual and tactile means. The physicality of nature is reflected through touch, and the use of light or line, and her recent projects have involved black stitch embroidery on an increasingly large scale, and glass sculptures which express the metaphysics of nature.
“I have always been interested in the juxtaposition of negative and positive: that of black and white photography, or the wiped plate of the mono print process; the cut block as opposed to the printed positive; the negative of space contrasting with the positive of the shining forms of glass; the negative of the space within white cloth, shaped by the black lines that gather in rhythms to become the forms I draw in thread.”

“Art for me is the place where the imagined and understood are given a body through some material
or other - glass, paint, threaded line, a form cut in wood… this embodied form can be anything -
an abstract expression of movement, a shaft of light, or else ecstasy or grief, or the contemplation
of sound.”
