Jahne Rees is a sculptor with an ongoing interest in creating artworks that reinforce the human connection to the natural environment, and the interconnectedness of all things. He creates large scale, free-standing abstract artworks, designed for the public realm. He works predominantly with polished concrete, often combined with other elements such as steel or aluminium to create organic forms that speak of duality, contrast, symmetry and balance. The works are always site specific and often include some integration with the landscape or built environment. Many of these artworks are large enough to command a striking presence from a distance, as well as present more detailed surface embellishment on closer inspection. Texture and tactile qualities are equally as important as the overall singularity of design. Techniques such as sandblasting, exposed aggregate, etching, chiselled and machine-cut textures, mosaics and colourful terrazzo or brass inserts often feature in the work to develop extra layers of meaning and interpretation.
