Right after I graduated from College there were a couple months that I didn't pick up a piece of charcoal or even look at a piece of paper. At first I welcomed the break of not doing art after so many months of intensity. I began to worry that maybe I wasn't a 'real' artist.
It was around Christmas time that I realized that thinking about the fact that I was not drawing was becoming all I ever thought about.
I hung a piece of paper in my spare bedroom and a horse soon emerged. Every morning when I got up he was just there, looking at me. It was then that it occurred to me that I had never really stopped making art. It was going on all the time right in my head; the fact that I was obsessed with the thought that I was not making art made me just as much as an artist as I was when I was actively creating. Soon instead of dreading my morning walk by my spare bedroom I began to look forward to it. The horse in this piece was just letting me know that my artwork would be there when I was ready, and that our passions never leave us, despite the time we might spend away from them.
Ironically, or fittingly, I decided to put the horse away for a little while, and then when the time was right I came back to him and gave him a proper space.
