"I mixed everything I'd ever worked with--mud, clay, plaster, glue, paper, and brown paper--then smoothed it [over a framing made of steel] with straw and hay and grass and twigs," she says. "That was my first horse." She wanted to express herself in self portraits without using her own human figure.xpress herself in self portraits without using her own human figure. She attempts to show the spirit of the horse and its essence in her creations.

She attempts to show the spirit of the horse and its essence in her creations.
