"Blood Rescue," 21st century cave drawings: The horse has figured prominently in art for the last 35,000 years. These images explore how our relationship to this animal has changed as our own species' form of social organization has changed: From hunter-gatherer, to agrarian, to feudal, to nation state, to industrial, and finally today to an information society. How have we changed? How have we not? We still eat horses; we still use them for work; we still use them in armed conflict; we still race them; we still use them in sports competition; sometimes we even still love them. To make these images, I appropriate, draw, paint, photograph, scan, and collage digitally to make the final images Lightjet printed on Fuji Archive Crystal paper, 75cm x 115cm; editions of 11.
