Photos from todays tea and cake event at the Fireplace Gallery celebrating the work “Break your Own Pony” by Hunt & Darton
We like the clichéd well-to-do ladies, Pony Club and Polo’s or the smell of wet leather or Jackie magazine or strong thighs and shoveling shit or spoilt children demanding that Daddy buys them a pony or the wind blowing through your hair as you ride your tamed Stallion or My Little Pony or judges, rosettes and tight hair or country life, whips and gyrating or saying she’s a bit ‘Horsey’.
‘Break Your Own Pony - In the fireplace’ is a micro installation based on a live art performance created from a week that we spent at a Horse Riding Centre systematically adapting to the language, movements and equipment. We had never ridden before. The opportunity allowed us to learn and encompass all that it is to ride. We have included all the left over objects, text, sound that we have become attached to and feel should have their own space.
