The latin word ‘Equus’ derives from the same root as the word ‘equal’, horses share the same bone structure as humans, with only one bone difference.  They have drawn chariots across the sky, struck the ground and created springs, traversed the veils between the worlds.  Horses were an obsession throughout my childhood, collecting figures, drawings,  anything that allowed me to be part of their herd.  Within my work I now create worlds where horses are the protagonists, mythical creatures, symbols of elemental forces such as sun and moon. 

I feel that the horses are aspects of my own psyche, seeking solace in the natural world. Within these otherworldly landscapes I can be a small mushroom or have my head in the treetops, in this space the boundaries between myself and the world around can diffuse.
