stone. wood sense. emotion
Janie Stevens carves natural materials, namely stone and wood.
Having discovered sculpture late in life, she trained under the tutelage of Dominic Hopkinson and Tim Foster in York.
Taking inspiration from Hepworth, Moore and Cragg, working with local quarried stone & driven by form, tactility and emotion ; ‘three-dimensional form and shape excite me and continually test my understanding of the natural world’.
"Sculpture…permits a journey to discovery that gives a glimpse at the myriad of forms as yet unseen"
— Tony Cragg
“ My aim is to create art that is incomplete, impermanent and imperfect, which aesthetically has no limitations to its beauty and simplicity.”

Ancaster limestone feels reassuring and relaxing at any temperature. Don’t just put it on a shelf, put it somewhere you can run your stressed hands over it every now and then.
