Street Art - Horse Sculpture (Jordan Sprigg)
Point of Interest
Description
Jordan Sprigg is an artist based in country Western Australia in a small wheatbelt town called Narembeen.
FB ABOUT: I enjoy using recycled metals that are found from retired machinery and scrap heaps where I try to use pieces that capture the character of the sculpture I'm trying to create. My inspiration generally comes from the wide scoping animal kingdom. My scrap iron sculptures are kept in their raw rusted state to highlight the ageing of metal and the history of each piece used.
Narembeen is the local Aboriginal name for Emu Hill which got its English name when the explorer John Septimus Roe, in 1836, saw a family of emus making their way up a hill.
In 1860 Charles Smith took up a pastoral lease and named his property 'Narimbeen'. In 1865 the explorer Charles Cooke Hunt recorded the spelling as 'Narembeen'. The meaning of the name is not known.
