Jane Rosen: H is for ...

Gallery Walk July 8th, 5-8pm

Jane Rosen’s talent is in finding the shadows of things, the soft sepia tones of birds and mammals, the quiet and penetrating turn of a beak or gaze of a feral eye.  Rosen’s sculptures are evocative, less precise renditions of similar subject matter - and she pays as much attention to the material as to the shapes she forms with it.

“What I found is that animal nature is a key for us to understand our own nature. The relationship of their nature to the forces of nature all comes down to a kind of sacred map. The kind of laws that govern nature begin to become visible in the interactions between these various species. You can see that in the shape of an oyster-catcher’s bill. It opens laterally, so that it can eat clams and oysters. Not only that, but a law appears in its relationship to others...there’s a pecking order.”
