Description
The expressions and contortions of the horses on a carousel bring feelings of agony and despair in this series of Carousel of Despair. Processed with a strong black and white film noir contrast.
Even as a child I would not ride a carousel, as the horses always appeared to be locked in a state of discomfort. I have ridden on a carousel as an adult with my own children only to feel disturbed and uncomfortable with all these suffering animals surrounding me.

Love the silver tones on this horse. A unique and exciting look at the carousel, James.

Each piece in this series feels a bit more menacing! Love the metallic feeling glow you've achieved!
Jon Woodhams
Really liking this series and the noirish sheen you've captured on these carousel horses.
