White Horse and Inscription

Text holds the field on equal terms with the figure — as in the border scenes of an icon.

One subject lived through dozens of ways: rider, spear, serpent — each time in a different matter, from red ground to blue tile. A series about an image that survives any reworking and stays recognisable from across the room.
