Chinoise (Plaster Original) by Heather Jansch
Pictured here is the plaster original of Chinoise, which forms part of Jansch’s series of sculptures inspired by Tang Dynasty imagery. This is one of few peices for which we have both the orginal and the records and moulds for bronze. Jansch treated the patination of each cast from the series differently, and thus no two bronzes of Chinoise are alike.
Jansch’s Tang Series was created in a period prior to the perfection of the process for translating the driftwood sculptures in to bronze, and reflected Jansch’s increasing frustration in the impermance of her work.
In addition to some others in the series you can see the bronze of Chinoise at The Diehl Gallery.

Other sculpture by Heather Jansch
This piece forms part of Heather Jansch’s series of sculptures inspired by Tang Dynasty imagery, 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 is 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.
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 Sculpture by the Lakes in Dorset, UK. As a result, many of her sculptures remain available for purchase.
