“It is a sheer delight to observe how Jen Mallinson’s sculpture has continued to evolve, with an ever-increasing haunting beauty. Her fluid, lyrical shapes invite, indeed seduce the eye to linger, taking deep pleasure in the forms, and contemplating the wondrous mix of natural elements, personal ideas and emotions that inspire Jen’s flow of creativity.

The growing sophistication in Jen’s work is also evident in her meticulous professional skills in the actual making; shaping the metal and introducing new combinations of finishes on outdoor works, including gleaming silver stainless steel against dense black.

I am often reminded of Bronwyn Oliver’s hauntingly beautiful sculptures when I look at Jen Mallinson’s work, which means that Jen is on the special path of being one of our truly talented sculptors.”
