Statement

Billy Breckenridge
Kari Alberg, Northfield
Lithography

"I grew up on a farm with large workhorses. When I saw the photo of the little child, Billy Breckenridge, on the huge horse it reminded me of my family and other rural families who captured their pride by photographing their children and animals. Yet given the scale of the boy with respect to the horse, I thought how frightened the child must have been a top that massive horse, as his small hand appears to hold a clump of mane hair.
I met the real Bill, now retired, who remembers "to this day" the photo, his fright, and the name of the horse "Pingo.""
