We all know about seahorses - amazing fish, more like horses than, in fact, fish. And here is an English artist Heather Jansch creates sea horses with his own hands. Moreover, from wood.
And not just from wood taken from felled and sawn trees, but from pieces of branches and roots collected by Heather Jansk during her many walks along the sea coast (remember the garbage installations by Mark Olivier and Angela Pozzi) …
Each of us who walked along the coast of the sea after a storm knows that the waters throw a lot of different objects on the beaches, mainly man-made and natural garbage.
This rubbish, namely wood, is exactly what the artist Heather Jansk collects, using it as a material for her amazing wooden sculptures. From the stubs of branches, trunks and roots, she collects full-length figures of horses, a home-grown analogue of seahorses.
Moreover, these horses are not just assembled from pieces of wood, Heather Jansk tried to convey the features of the anatomy of these animals, highlighting their powerful muscles and graceful bends of bodies with the help of bends of roots and branches from which these horses are assembled.
Heather Jansk arranges sculptures from her horse series around the world. It can be the central squares of cities, and peripheral streets, parks and squares, courtyards of houses. Several horses from this English artist have found their permanent home on the sea coast, in the tidal zone. So to people watching them from the side, it may seem as if these are real horses walking along the surf line.

Flash memory: unfinished sculptures of people and horses from the art trio Unmask Group
Artists, poets, sculptors - in fact, all creative people prefer not to show the public their unfinished work. Firstly, one cannot judge the whole by seeing only a part, secondly, it is not known how the inspiration will behave, and whether it will leave the author just before the finish, and thirdly, there is always the possibility that the author will radically change the concept of his work , and then what has already been shown will lose its relevance.
