⾺HORSE
Site specific installation
This site specific work was commissioned by Asia New Zealand Foundation and the Wellington City Council for Chinese New Year Zodiac Art Trail 2021.
Celebrating the Year of the Ox, the trail featured 12 original, publicly accessible artworks scattered across the Wellington CBD and waterfront. ⾺HORSE was designed for the window of Gelissimo Gelateria with vinyl print and holographic projection.
A golden sunset-tinged ‘waterfall of horses’ floats through the windows of Gelissimo Gelateria, as Internet-sourced stock photographs of horses are affectionately rendered with beautifying filters and lily and jasmine flowers, evoking good luck for the zodiac sign of the Horse and the ultimate in horse-girl energy and wholesome tween-feminism.
Trending in 2014, the last Year of the Horse, the ‘wholesome’ meme Internet phenomenon centred on romance, happiness, sentimentality and a belief in chasing after your dreams, traits of the Horse zodiac sign.

Ghost horses appear holographically on the windows and illuminate the courtyard.
