Horse and Rider Series: Takt and Connection

Takt and Connection were inspired by the relationship of horse and rider. It is a communication that can be magical and overwhelming by the simple fact that it is possible. Clear communication is absolutely necessary for success of the pair. Takt is a direct reference to the dressage training scale; 'takt' means rhythm and regularity in gait and tempo. In this piece, one of the smallest bones in the horse, the fibula, is created and repeated in porcelain to visually describe the necessity of repetition, precision, and balance required for this equestrian sport as well as in life. Connection utilizes the femur of both horse and rider to visually describe a moment in the act of riding where the rider and horse are connected physically, mentally, and spiritually.
