The White Horse, Risograph printed publication, 20 pages, 14x21cm, 2026The White Horse (2026) tells the story of Tommy and his encounter with a talking horse. The project draws on a family story about a teenage soldier’s brush with death; Private William ‘Billy’ Stevenson was my Great Great Uncle and he served in the West Yorkshire Regiment during WWI. It poses questions about contemporary approaches to rememberance; considers the mutability of symbols; and plays with the myths that nations tell about themselves.
The project comprises a short story and series of drawings by Chris Alton, published as a pamphlet; and a soundtrack composed and performed by StevieRay Latham.
