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 168


365 Day 168

Another walk around the Sevenoaks Wildlife reserve and literally unfurling signs of the new growth and life of spring. I have always liked sculpting spirals as I have always tended towards curves in my work rather than a more angular approach. Spirals are the ultimate curve and suggest they are leading somewhere, but in the case of these ferns, the curve leads to what will become the tips of this new foliage as the fronds unfurl.
