The Night Horse and The Holy Baboon installation 2017
Two new works for this Cello Factory retrospective are large scale mixed media sculptures of two mythical creatures: The Nigerian ‘Night Horse’ and the Egyptian ‘Holy Baboon’. The Night Horse can be ridden without anyone seeing the rider. The story is that you can ride the horse to kill your enemies in secret and return unnoticed. The Holy Baboon is a temple guardian that watches over sacred places and morality. The Holy Baboon believes that murder is wrong – so the two separate creatures face each other.
