"Art is not a handicraft, it is the transmission of feeling the artist experienced"
—Leo Tolstoy
Jade's contemporary sculptures in stone and mixed media invite the viewer to venture from this world of structure and rules into the abstract next. His compelling combination of form and movement, layered with rich textures, result in inspired creations that are at once sophisticated and playful.
