A Brief Encounter with the Untamable by Ruth Delaney

Discovery

Captured during an artist residency, this photograph highlights the untamable spirit of ranch horses roaming a vast landscape. Evoking a pre-human connection to the land, the image uses the horses’ direct gaze to convey the power of animals living by their own natural hierarchies.
