Invited by the artist to visit a “living museum”, horses Gus and Deuce decide whether to come inside, explore the museum’s permanent collection, and sample from a horse-pitality tray of sculpted fruits and vegetables, encountering all new people, things, textures, scents, and sounds.
Horses at the Museum and In Your Dreams [Horses] are ongoing multi-media projects exploring horse personality and individuality, sensory awareness and processing, and the boundaries and thresholds of shared experience.
