History

Connection by Jane de la Haye and James Bedding

More than just art, ‘Connection’ is a tribute to Jersey’s rich history, woven together through an unexpected medium – JT phone cards.

This artwork is a testament to the power of creativity. Bedding, a wheelchair user, brings a unique vision to ‘Connection’, showing how art can inspire, transcend boundaries, and offer space for imagination and self-expression. Inspired by childhood memories of collecting phone cards, Bedding and de la Haye transformed them into a spectacular visual tapestry of Jersey’s landscape, culture and traditions.

Over 900 hours of dedication turned this piece into a celebration of connection – between past and present, history and home, people and place. From ancient Neolithic sites and iconic modern landmarks like the Millennium Stones, to displays by the Red Arrows, every detail reflects the ties that bind us.

Come and explore this unique work, discover the memories within it, and reflect on your own connections to Jersey, its history and its people.
