Born in 1966, Jane Edden grew up in Sussex and received her BA in Industrial Design from Manchester Polytechnic. Among other residencies, Edden attended the Wysing Arts, Cambridgeshire, in 2001 and has exhibited her work globally in the UK, Japan & the US. She has received a selection of awards including the Juliet Gomperts Trust's Project Funding Award, London.
The subject of Edden's work is at the intersection of science and aesthetics, working across materials, seeking access to irregular interchanges between nature and culture. Although each project is seen as a separate body of work, they all adopt a similar theme of light, sound, movement and flight.
Jane now lives and works in Devon, UK
