Sampson Two
Sampson Two shares many similarities with Heather’s Tang series, but diverges somewhat in its style and is here shown in the plaster original. The base is clearly marked “NFS, original for bronze” but because at the date of Jansch’s death no records of a mould for bronze have been found, we do not believe it was ever cast.
We wonder whether there was a “Sampson” before this peice, so please get in touch if you know of it, we would be very happy to hear from you.

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 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.
Our exhibitions page has details of upcoming shows, but if you would are considering a purchase and would like to arrange a viewing or need additional photographs you are welcome to get in touch.
