Jayne Lennard
A blog to give Jayne Lennard a presence on the web. Images of her work are taken from 2 booklets, 'Maid to write' and 'Maid in wire' which also showcase the poems of writer and film-maker, Joe Jenkins
'It is the quality of decaying materials that fascinates, the richness of texture, a story already attached; it is then a matter of bringing these various objects together into a new whole; to reclaim, is to see infinite variations'
Jayne Lennard

Jayne Lennard and Joe Jenkins have synthesised the written word with sculptural art forms to create a Maid in Wire and Maid to Write.
Jayne Lennard has work in private collections in Europe, the United States and Japan. She has illustrations published in New York and Tokyo and shown animated figures in Prague. Jayne has appeared on BBC television, designed hats for the Clothes Show, and exhibits her multi-faceted work throughout Britain and Europe.
Joe Jenkins has written extensively for young people, particularly on contemporary issues. His books, published by Heinemann, are used in schools throughout the UK. Joe is the author of Kahlil Gibran: Man and Poet, a biography of the visionary Lebanese artist and poet, recently acclaimed by the New York Times.
Both books were designed by Chris White.
