The Land of the Starving Horses
2012
woodcut
8ft x 4 ft

This print is a homage to the horses that were tied up and left to starve on some of the former industrial sites of the Black Country . I once set one of these horse free and the first thing it did was run to the nearest water to drink, it was like a skeleton. Not also the man allowing his dog to terrorise one the horses, some of which walk endlessly in a circle on the tethered rope, churning the land to mud, and eventually ending up on their knees as the rope got ever shorter.
