Artwork Title: Ride like the wind
Artist: Bridie McKenna
Artist Statement:
My work is about a horse and a word saying, “ride like the wind”. This writing fits with the horse because it means ride wild and free or ride it like you stole it. The horse in a jumping action represents it being wild and do what it wants. My artwork is sprayed onto cartridge paper. What this artwork means to me is ride like there’s no tomorrow, have fun, be wild and free. This artwork was inspired by horses, they inspire me because they are silly, cheeky, wild and free. My artwork doesn’t really express an issue more a saying or telling people to let go and just do it. My goals as an artist are to try and keep trying new designs or drawings and don’t give up on them. I want to learn more stuff with art and how to do more like, overlapping, no overspray, more detail, a clear sketch or art piece. My artwork helped me get closer to my goals and keep trying. My artwork taught me to try new things, combine colours, how to have no overspray and a 3-layer stencil. Yes, the image is what I imaged a horse and saying underneath it with no overspray or too much spray paint.
