Child by Heather Jansch
In a departure from Jansch’s usual subject matter, a series of Elephants were made for bronze. This piece, known as “Child” is bronze number nine from edition of fifteen.
A group of Heather’s elephants (the family, so to speak), can currently be seen on exhibition at Lympstone Manor in Devon.
Other examples from this series include He’s Not Heavy and Matriarch.

Other sculpture by Heather Jansch
This piece forms part of Heather Jansch’s series of elephants, but other examples of her work include her enduringly popular life-size foals, such as Clover and most famously, her life-size horses, best illustrated by The Eden Horse. Heather also made smaller work for interiors, an example being the magnificent Etalon, which regarded by many as her very finest work. In a departure from her usual practice, Heather also produced a series of dancers and warrior women. In addition to this, Heather also made a series of sculptures inspired by Tang Dynasty imagery, an example of which is Jeunesse.
We are following an active programme of casting from Heather’s moulds to finish the editions she began and so Heather’s work continues to be exhibited on a regular basis, and can be seen at The Diehl Gallery in Jackson, WY, and Pangolin in London, UK. As a result, many of her sculptures remain available for purchase.
