My most cherished co-conspirators have invariably been

Sagittarius. I revel in their unbridled exploratory, spontaneous

spirit, an electric frequency that I have otherwise only sensed in

the company of wild mustangs. Encountering these animals that

have not been broken in by human ignorance, showed me just

how far humanity finds expression at the cost of another living

being’s freedom. We dis-empower and strip away a mustang’s

sovereignty, subjugate them and make them servile in order to

claim what was rightfully theirs’- the space and right to be.

Instead of appreciating their inherent nature to run without

boundaries and bonds, we break them in and dull their connection

to life and their own kind, so their true power becomes ours to

wield negligently. Both the sign and species don’t fare well with

domestication, and it is my love of both that inspired me to create

this work.
