Corroboree Frog, 2018
Durban, south africa
CERAMIC
In the quiet corners of the Australian wilderness, where the earth hums with ancient stories, the corroboree frog dances - a fleeting whisper of colour and life. Jane du Rand captures this delicate moment in her ceramic work, "Corroboree Frog". With a background in architecture and over 25 years as a professional artist, Jane's pieces are a testament to meticulous craftsmanship and a deep connection to nature. Her work, including this piece, often reflects her fascination with the natural world and the stories she encounters.
This ceramic frog, though small in stature, carries the weight of its endangered existence. Each curve and glaze is a tribute to a species that, like many, faces the threat of climate change and habitat loss. Through her art, Jane not only showcases the beauty of these creatures but also raises awareness about their fragility.
