Regis
Regis continues in a similar vein to Heather’s other large heads, with a vitality and unique presence that is the natural result of the freedom of expression Heather found in these sculptures. Jansch’s artistry was at the zenith of her practice in the life-size heads, as a result each of which was palpably brimming with life and vitality.
Equally comfortable in their natural setting or an interior, the heads have an unerring capacity to fire the imagination: one might imagine Regis having just emerged victorious from a titanic subaquatic struggle for dominance.
The driftwood original is in the archive and is destined to be cast in bronze, however, the moulds have not yet been made: the planned edition of seven is will hopefully begin in 2025.
Regis’s cousin Madrugada will be available to view during exhibitions at Moorwood Art and Pangolin London

Other sculpture by Heather Jansch
This piece forms part of Heather Jansch’s series of life-size heads, but other examples of her work include her enduringly popular life-size foals, such as Dylan. Her smaller work for interiors included sculptures like Jeunesse from her Tang series, and the magnificent Etalon, 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.
