Horse Child

Horse Child

by Lara Watterson

In Horse Child, Watterson revisits her formative fascination with all things equine. While quarantining for two weeks in her childhood bedroom, the artist passed time by re-exploring her earliest artistic pursuit: drawing horses. These ninety-nine drawings are the culmination of her time in isolation, dedicated to all children who love horses.
