Jane South
In an interview, Jane said that her creative impulse comes from a seemingly unlikely source: bike rides around New York City. Biking inspires her exploration of the human relationship with architecture and bring inspirations to her next art work.
As for the media that she choose to express her art, South chooses paper, balsa wood, acrylic and ink. Using these basic elements, Jane creates three-dimensional sculptures that reference the industrial forms she is exposed during her bike rides.
