Jess Tan is a Boorloo-based artist whose work stems from an associative drawing practice to form a biomorphic language that expands into sculpture and site-specific installations. Tan collects from the residual of what she has eaten, broken, found and previously made, as well as what the things around her have made in the process of being. She likens her studio activities to an endless circulation of slow digestion, regurgitation, indigestion and re-digestion as she navigates various stages of learning and learning. She often works in collaboration with humans, materials and environments. Her practice follows an inquiry into how materials morph through ongoing reconfiguration and can generate unfamiliar ways of knowing and understanding through their affective capacities. This follows a series of process-led transitions that lead to outcomes that embrace failure, adaptation and uncertainty as matter transforms into altered states, adopting an internal logic as they accumulate. A practice formed through material dialogue;
“Jess makes with the world. A suite of drawings create an associative stream of shape and symbol and are then left outside to be finished – eaten – by snails. A trail of beautiful debris suggests tidelines of seaweed and shell. The title of a body of drawings and objects configured specifically for the architecture of Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery and extending past the windows and into the world beyond it, borrows from the logic of the moon snail, referring to ‘sand collars’ - curled masses of sea snail eggs and sand grains held together by a gelatinous secretion [...] Sculpture is not an exclusively human activity.”
- Gemma Weston on Jess Tan’s practice for the Ariel’s Song exhibition catalogue (2022).
Tan has exhibited widely and often in a collaborative capacity across Australia in solo and group exhibitions, mostly recently including; an invitation to dance at Cool Change Contemporary with Audrey Tan, Kristen Brownfield, jemi gale, and Clare Wohlnick (collab show, Boorloo WA, 2024), Gleam with Luisa Hansal at Light Works (collab show, Boorloo WA, 2024), triple power of plants with Audrey Tan and Sebastian Temple at Goolugatup Heathcote (collab show, Boorloo WA, 2023), The Churchie Emerging Art Prize at the Institute of Modern Art (group show, Meanjin QLD, 2023), a stitch is a wish for renewal at New Bayswater Post Office residency (solo project, facilitated by Jessee-Lee Johns, Walyalup WA, 2023) and inner ear at sweet pea (solo show, Boorloo WA, 2022). Other selected projects include Ariel’s Song curated by Gemma Weston at Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery for Perth Festival (group show, Boorloo WA, 2022), 4am flaming arrows curated by jemi gale at Bundoora Homestead Arts Centre (group show, Kelbundoora VIC, 2021), eternal return boulevard with Audrey Tan at TCB Gallery (collab show, Naarm VIC, 2021) and Remedial Works curated by Andrew Varano at the Perth Institute of Contemporary Art (group show, Boorloo WA, 2017). Tan completed a Master of Fine Art (research) at RMIT in 2021, a Bachelor of Fine Art (First Class Honours) at RMIT in 2018 and a Bachelor of Art (Visual Art), Edith Cowan University in 2013. Her work is held in collections of Artbank, Art Gallery of Western Australia, State Library of Queensland as well as various private collections. Tan has been represented by AVA since 2021.
