About David
David Janes is a sculptor working primarily in wood using hand carving tools. His work combines meticulous research, ludic engagement, manic humour and serious intent with visual panache; proposing vertiginous solutions to the questions he wishes to consider.
“The elephant will be covered in hand sawn blocks of wood to reconsider the volume and silhouette of the form, to make this real object low resolution in a high definition world; fragmented and curious, a rumour of an elephant seen on a website.”
