This work is from Jan Vogelpoel\’s Source series. These works represents the cultivation of new beginnings, inspired by the essence of creation.

Jan is a Melbourne based sculptor, born in the United Kingdom and raised in South Africa. She makes sculptural and relief works in clay, which reflect her love of organic shapes and graphic lines. For Vogelpoel, the process of making sculptures is tangible and permanent, a labour of love that she finds grounding and rewarding. 

Japanese and Mid-Century design are key influences in her work. She uses a range of clays including earthenware, sculpture clay, black clay and terracotta. The characteristic raw finish of her works makes them highly tactile, recalling the textures of sandstone cliffs or ancient artefacts.
