Elephant No. 3 by Heather Jansch
It wasn’t just horses that fascinated Heather, and so in addition to Jansch’s usual subject matter she also created a sizeable number of elephants. The example pictured here is shown in the original mixed media. Although this piece was never cast and remains in the maquette stage, several other elephants were translated in to bronze.
A group of Heather’s bronze elephants (the family, so to speak), can currently be seen on exhibition at Lympstone Manor in Devon.
Other examples from this series include, Child, He’s Not Heavy and Matriarch. We’ve also recently been able to identify another in the series entitled “Twin“.

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 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. 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 Sculpture by the Lakes in Dorset, UK. As a result, many of her sculptures remain available for purchase.
