Young horse (For Ellsworth Kelly)

July 17, 1985

Young horse leans on its mother. He needs someone to show him how to bend to the grass. How will he get the shape of his neck right? The lady behind the lens has enough to worry about. And she has had plenty of help. For her the right shape is in those old brown photos of little Indian ponies. The ones who were not used to being lifted out of time and flattened like butterflies.
