Running through the chaos for you

A little horse that doesn't quite look like a horse — running through the moments too hard to name.

When it was a little horse

I wasn't really trying to draw a horse.

It was more like drawing a state of being: a sheet of paper, a pen, a little horse that doesn't quite look real.

It can be imperfect, even clumsy — but it keeps its own rhythm, and it will run a while for you.

Run, little horse, run.

From drawing to object

Later I made it into cards, stickers, washi tape and everyday things.

Not to make it more of a product, but to let the little horse run off the page: into book pages, into a bag, into the corners of a notebook — and through those restless moments too hard to name.

Maybe the most tender thing about a drawing isn't what it finishes, but what it is willing to go through with you.
