The horse, bareback rider and clown are arranged in a roughly triangular composition frozen as though they are in an on-stage tableau. The hot colour palette set against the white ground pushes the three characters forward in temporary balance... they appear connected yet highly individual. For me, this image aim to reference unknown maladies, dreams, psychosis and things that go ‘bump in the night’.
 
A number of my artworks include colourfully decorated horses and clowns set in starkly white compositions, absent of context... and others in which they appear set in highly colourful architectural environments analogous to dreams. All of these works both entertain the eyes and unsettle the imagination.
