Studying Masters in Fine Art at Cardiff Metropolitan University Jane Mason is Celf o Gwmpas Artists Network Co-Ordinator and a freelance facilitator.

Marrying the colourful plastic of Punk rock and the affinity with nature of the environmentalist, Jane repurposes waste. Her sculpture is playful and adventurous, as she enjoys the challenge of manipulating, transforming, and constructing with unconventional materials. Most everything she uses is waste; from domestic food packaging and old clothes to discarded building materials and broken tents.

At the heart of her practice is a primal need to make and she works intuitively with the materials she find. Through collecting, experimenting, and assembling them she creates forms which she finds appealing. She wants her work to be joyous and intriguing. Jane’s work takes up space and invites the viewer to participate in a journey of discovery as they explore the work and develop an understanding of the forms and materials and the dialogue that they find there.

Jane is inspired by nature, history, the cycles of life and the interconnectedness of everything. She is interested in Art as a vehicle for change and therefore sharing her skills and passions through community engagement is a significant part of her practice.
