"Elevator Horse"
in this scenario, a young Traveller takes his horse into the elevator of a high rise apartment block- an image both surreal and quietly powerful.
Inspired by a moment in the Irish film The Commitments, this work isn’t about whether the event truly happened, but about the clash between two ways of life.
The horse, a strong symbol of Traveller tradition and freedom, feels out of place in the tight spaces of modern housing.
The image speaks to how poorly government policies have matched the needs and culture of the Traveller community- and to the quiet resistance that remains.
