Specialist note

I started to look at the horse image very closely and I ended up taking it apart, going back to the idea of parts and wholes. I usually thought of the horse images as being about parts and wholes. I used the leg parts to encircle a space and that space contained a frontal horse coming toward you. It almost looks human
