About
Jane Wafer is an Oxford-based artist working mainly in 3D sculpture and installation.
She has exhibited in Oxfordshire, London and Italy.
The artist uses a variety of materials, both natural and man-made, often combining them to make 'synthetic hybrids.' Change and transformation are recurring themes and she frequently draws on the natural world for inspiration.
Jane originally studied biology before becoming an artist, and collaboration between the arts and sciences remains an important element in her work.
Recently she has been involved in the Aylesbury Vale Biodiversity Project, running art workshops, and in 2009 she participated in Pestival held in the Royal Festival Hall in London.
This latest body of work consists of sculptures knitted from wire using numerical sequences like the Fibonacci sequence or a series of prime numbers to dictate the pattern. This created organic forms, alluding to the connection between mathematics, aesthetics and the natural world.
