Sculpting in a Barn on a Farm.

Sculpting in a Barn on a Farm.

Hello and welcome to my Blog. My name is Jonathan Hateley and I am a sculptor. I have sculpted for many years in TV, film and theatre, mainly at model-making and effects companies as well four years at the English National Opera. Now though, most of my time is spent in a Barn on a Farm creating sculptures I choose to create and revealing them to the public through art galleries and exhibitions. My work is generally representational, both of the human figure, wildlife and other aspects of nature, though these can often be the basis for abstract shapes. My work is in constant development.

I hope my blog will give some insight into life as a sculptor, or at least my life as a sculptor, and create an interest in the work I produce. You can see my main website at: www.jonathanhateley.com

My current main project is '365' which involves sculpting 365 small bas-relief sculptures, one each day, all of which will be placed on one larger sculpture. It is all based on nature throughout the year. You can read more in my Day 1 intro

'365' Day 167



365 Day 167

This was a close up of the hosta plants growing outside the greenhouses on the farm. I only knew them as a plant to grow as a lure for snails and slugs so that they avoid other plants. My only experience of this was having planted a Hosta, they became decimated within a week by slugs and snails who then moved on to the other plants. Hostas though, are more than just sacrifice for snails! I think they have beautiful heart shaped foliage and was attracted to this particular plant for the way the leaves overlapped each other in a kind of cone shaped way towards the middle. They are very popular in the UK and have been around since the late 1700’s, but are actually native to Asia and mainly Japan, China and Korea.
