A lone black stallion walks the south beach of Sable Island. The persistent easterly winds catch his dreadlocked mane and speaks of the wildness of the land and its horses. The breeze has yet to move the present fog which enshrouds this remote island – creating a silent blanket, distorting time and distance. The island and her creatures care not for the ticking clock, for it is meaningless in a place that is controlled and shaped only by the elements.
“I have grown attached to this image for its simple yet nuanced composition. Aside from the B&W conversion, it is basically straight out of the camera. As a horsewoman, I like the softness of this horse’s eye, his refined muzzle, one ear turned back – listening – and his nice topline. I intentionally shot at a slow shutter speed to capture some blurred motion in the mane. The white space around him reminds me of the openness of the landscape that he travels through.“ Debra Garside
