Jane Cox
Primary Type of Art: Ceramics
Description
Jane Cox trained at Camberwell College of Art (1988-1992) and at the Royal College of Art (1992-1994), and has won several awards for her work including the Wedgwood Scholarship for surface design. Her work is collected for its use of rich jewel like glazes and stylish
elegant forms.
As a child she grew up with the ceramics of Alan Caiger Smith and the Celtic wallpaper designs of Peggy Angus. Both helped nurture in Jane a desire to make objects of beauty to enhance our daily lives as well as inspiring an interest in the creation of her own original patterns based on calligraphic interlocking forms and surfaces.
Always in pursuit of developing her work and seeking new sources of inspiration, Jane seeks to create exiting patterns whose sweeps and curves echo the profiles of the ceramic forms underneath. These are objects to contemplate, repose and inspire as well as to enjoy in use, which are given added meaning by their contemporary context.
