I am fascinated by the form and musculature of polo ponies: the angles and bends of their legs, the negative spaces created by horses standing and at a full gallop, and hooves on the ground and in the air. In this body of work, I continue my exploration of the horse using silhouettes, muted background colors, and the play of light on the body. These all combine to create this new body of work, which has never been exhibited before. In fact, I am not sure that the paint is dry!
