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 354



365 Day 354

It was a nice idea, but my concentrating on leaves, that I only mentioned yesterday, seems to have fallen at the first fence. Well perhaps not entirely. This sculpt was based on a log covered with the aerial roots of Ivy which was lying on the ground in a thicket of Hampstead Heath. The size of the sculpts are really restrictive and prevented me from getting across the extent and length of the tangle, and what drew me to the log in the first place, but it is a representative of a memory of that moment. There were leaves, but very few on the log, which had now become nothing more than a strangulated object in the path of the prolific climbing roots. I shall revert back to leaves tomorrow.
