Sowelu Hum:
Interpreting the ancient Norse rune of the sun, Sowelu Hum is about finding the wholeness within who we are and how we interact and connect with others.
Sowelu represents the life-giving force of the sun in the physical and mental world. It ignites optimism and the transmutation of thought into energy for positive action.

Jen enjoys creating site-specific works on any scale, both indoor and outdoor, for your home, business or commercial project.
Jen Mallinson has a reputation for creating three dimensional works that convey a sensitive aesthetic and abstract vision. Her fluid forms and expressive manipulation challenge the intrinsic solid nature of her chosen medium, Australian weathering steel (Corten) and stainless steel. Each piece is unique and made by hand in her studio on the far south coast of NSW.
With a passion for steel - organic form, surface treatment and attention to detail, Jen has developed highly refined skills in creating organic sculptural forms over the past decade. Often inspiration is drawn from the natural environment that surrounds her, an exploration of the macrocosm and the microcosm of place.
Her investigation of the patterns created through wind and water, is a recurring theme in her work. With integrated shadow forms, Jen explores the relationship between positive and negative space as a metaphor for existence. The works often connect with the viewer on a deep visceral level as well as being visually beautiful.
Our sister gallery SOHO Galleries also carries a wide range of Corten-steel sculpture and stainless-steel sculpture — browse their collection for further pieces.
