A Shoe Adjustment / Blacksmith / Farrier

from $250.00

In "A Shoe Adjustment / Blacksmith / Farrier," one of the runners stands quietly while the farrier bends over a raised hoof, making a small but important tweak to a shoe. It's a routine check, a final confirmation that all is well. Matt and I stand close enough to listen, his easy familiarity granting us access to this small circle. The farrier, who knows the horse's feet and habits, talks through what's needed to give it the best possible advantage on today's ground. This piece shows how even the tiniest adjustments, and the quiet knowledge of those who make them, feed into the deeper understanding Matt is passing on to me.

All my images are digital collage. Each image begins as a gathering — fragments of found imagery, textures, painted and drawn elements, and at times AI-assisted material. These are raw components. I dismantle, rework, paint into and rebuild, then layer digitally until they resolve into something entirely new. The final image is not generated. It is composed.

They are printed on German Etching Archival Hahnemühle 320gsm paper, with archival pigments. Each print is signed and numbered with a certificate of authenticity.
