I have an on-going fascination with horses which are considered by some as messengers who relay information from the unconscious to the conscious, and from the spiritual to the physical. My attraction to horses is irrational as I am not a rider, yet like most children my childhood was filled with stories of these strange creatures. There is a sense that they can carry you off to another world, like the world that is found in hypnosis which allows us to re-think, re-feel, re-see and re-know - this for me is “to go where the words don’t live", where meaning is expansive and plural.
