Jane Hibbert's Portfolio

sculptures and paintings strongly influenced by natural rhythms
problem
Jane Hibbert’s previous website presented her work clearly, but the experience felt fragmented and overly informational. Sculpture, painting, and biography sat apart rather than forming a cohesive visual language, and the work itself competed with layout and navigation rather than being given space to breathe.
solution
The new site reframes the work within a calm, gallery-like environment. A restrained layout, strong hierarchy, and minimal interaction place focus back on form, material, and scale. Sculpture, painting, and context now sit within a single, coherent system that encourages slow looking and quiet engagement.

The Jane Hibbert website was designed to reflect the quiet physicality and material sensitivity of her practice. A restrained, gallery-like layout places the work firmly at the centre, allowing sculptures and paintings to be experienced without visual noise or distraction. Large typography and generous spacing establish a calm rhythm, echoing the slow, deliberate processes behind the work itself.
The homepage leads with scale and clarity, introducing the artist through minimal text and strong visual hierarchy. Navigation between sculpture, painting, and biography is intentionally simple, encouraging exploration while maintaining a cohesive sense of the practice as a whole. Motion and interaction are kept subtle, reinforcing stillness rather than spectacle.
Artwork pages prioritise focus and proportion, presenting each piece against neutral space to emphasise form, surface, and material detail. The biography is integrated as part of the visual experience rather than a separate destination, helping contextualise the work without interrupting its flow.
Overall, the site functions as a digital extension of the studio: quiet, considered, and tactile. It supports slow looking, invites reflection, and allows the work to speak with confidence and restraint.
