Description The delightfully peculiar small sculptures, which
constitute Jan Learmonth’s most recent exhibition, BETWEEN HORIZONS
, are scale models of fantastical watercraft, many with the appearance
of mythical creatures. The works are lashed, knotted, woven, and
welded into being with natural and found materials gathered on Jan’s
travels around Gippsland. Their scale and intricate detail give them
an intimacy, while their depiction of much larger objects suggests a
degree of immensity. Each work appears to be in motion, en route.
However, its purpose, origin, and destination are left tantalizingly
unclear. None ‘travel’ with the speed or efficiency enabled by
contemporary materials, technology, and fabrication techniques.
Rather, they float, drift, or trudge, at a pace determined by their
raw materials and the intricately patient detail of their making. All
carry a cargo, which both seems to adorn and burden the creature or
craft. Some endure their load, some are ensnared by it, while others
nurture their charge. When viewing the works, the ambiguity of scale,
the uncertainty of location and purpose together compel a quiet
inquiry and contemplation. They each convey the long walks and
intricate processes that brought them into being. As such, the works
become a vehicle and platform for the artists thoughts and
explorations of making, time, memory, and landscape. Artist's CV Jan
