Yin Yang Horses

I've been thinking a lot about capturing movement through space, in dance and in other bodies in motion. In that vein, I've been working on a series of pairs of small porcelain horses. They are black and white, yin and yang, curving around one another in eternal and opposing relationship. The individual horses vary, but the pairs hold and express the same inclusive and circular space: tension and community; opposites that cannot exist one without the other; separateness and companionship; the dark in us and the light in us all.
