Horses & Clowns

I have been fascinated by the beauty, presence and movement of horses since my early childhood - - at the age of 4 I had an imagined horse that I kept hidden behind a settee. I read recently that Abraxas, the Greek God of Gods, took the for of a horse. Clowns and the associated fear, Coulrophrobia, has provided a visual vehicle for me to present clowns as symbols of disturbance, intense purveyors of and present in nightmares.
