Thanks... we are down to the very low single figures with this one so shouldn't think it will be much longer...
As for the Cowboy Balance series this is what Tom had to say about it:
As for the thinking behind the different styles for the cowboys and animals, there was a few different things going on with this, hereโs a coupleโฆ
On an aesthetic level it exaggerates the power/control struggle thatโs going on here, it (hopefully) emphasises the innocence, beauty and power and of the animal, at the same time reflects the bold, brash and seemingly careless attitude of the rodeo rider.
And as for the horse seeming โliftedโ off the ground, it has just been caught mid-buck, a tiny moment of calm, perfectly balanced, in the middle of the action, before they both drop back to the ground and continue.
I guess I also wanted to put the focus on the animal rather than the rider too, just tip the balance a little.
Of course, this series isnโt just about cowboys or animals, its more a small thought on the fun us folk find in trying to control and own things of natural power and beauty, the perils/dangers of doing so, the boisterous & clumsy attitude we take to it, and the thrill of the ride.
