HorseMania at the Alltec FEI Equestrian Games 2010

 
Shortlisted proposal to represent County Kildare at Horse Mania, at the Alltech F.E.I. Equestrian Games at Lexington, Kentucky.

The brief was to paint/decorate a life size fibre glass horse for the HorseMania Event.

My proposal was to gild the horse silver, and define the structure and muscles tone using text and words collected from people associated with horse racing and breeding in Co. Kildare –‘The Thoroughbred County’, thereby bringing a sense of community and sense of Kildare directly to Lexington, Kentucky.

Front Square, Library Square, Trinity College Dublin


‘Parliament Square with an elegant balanced sweep of imperial self confidence. Lying to the East is Library Square-with a South side of solemn dignity; and an East side of sedate domesticity; and on the North side a large austere building, striving to be stately – all dominated by the campanile, symbolic of the college'.R.B.

One morning, very very early at the Tyrone Guthrie Centre I was awakened by the most beautiful light. So up I got, and headed down to the lake where the early morning mist was clearing. I stayed and watched for over three hours as the sun came up.

On my way back to the main house for breakfast I met with several others who had also risen early and gone out into the grounds and found a place to be on their own.

Since then I have come across those same artists- a poet, a choreographer and a writer. All of us produced work based on that morning.

Mare and Foal

I really liked how the mare brought the curious foal in towards her side with a sweep of her tail
