First There Was A Pony (2023)
The catalyst for this work was an encounter with a pony one day on a morning bike ride. The pony came over to greet me and I loved the colours of her coat and the pink and blue pattern on her blanket, and I wanted to soak up this experience – horse, blanket, reddish earth, blue sky – and channel it into a painting.
‘Horses, like the rest of us, can transform and be transformed. A horse could be a streak of sunrise, a body of sand, a moment of ecstasy. A horse could be all of this at the same time. Or a horse might be nothing at all but the imagination of the wind.’
