Vigil, 24" x 24", June 2005, Not for saleA period of waiting, watching. Anticipation and hope are signal feelings here but also melancholy and despair. The horse is depicted without even the cast of a highlight in it's gaze to represent an inward gaze: meditation and prayer. Faith.
The horse is depicted with a 'dressed' mane: it is dressed in its finest as it waits. The horse could be a descendent of of those depicted in Greco-Roman sculpture. It could also be in a certain stable on a certain evening. Standing in darkness, the mute animal knows there is always hope.
