Jane Oldfield

Now I want my practice to highlight our Climate Crisis. Learning to pilot a glider, taught me a lot about the sky and being a grandmother has increased my worry.

I do a variety of work inspired by flying. I love painting and drawing, but I also used my ‘JaneAir’ plane as a performance – piloted by me. Now I am making more photocollages. Many of them use photographs that I have taken from planes.  Also I enjoy making hanging balanced mobiles from the shapes of people as I imagine they might be if they developed flying abilities.

I have been an active member of RAG for many years. While I was chair in 2010 we took part in an exhibition in Beijing. My last solo exhibition was at the Control Centre at Greenham Common in 2022.
