The play by Peter Shaffer, where a psychiatrist attempts to treat a young man who has a pathological sexual obsession with horses, is reminiscent of the work of US photographer Monica Stevenson she uses luxury goods such as Tiffany bracelets and Hermes Scarves on and next to equines as the focus for some of her major work.

This piece of a horse wearing a luxury scarf ‘Hermes Scarf Horse’ won Stevenson a place in the ‘Advertising photographers of America’. It makes you ask the following questions inwardly, is that a horse? What is that around the horses nose? It says something about the use of animals. It forces you to study the accessories in a different way, much more than if it were draped over a model.

Monica’s main subjects have always been horses, her equine photographs are displayed proudly on her website. I think she mixes the use of luxury Hermes and Gucci goods with ther love of equines beautifully in her work.

Her images are sexual and beautiful, but you ask if you should be looking, they seam personal? Stevenson is toying with us, daring us to keep watching, to keep delving.

The work has almost a sadomasochistic edge to it, highlighted by the use of horse and human hair wound around Iron stirrups and leather straps, oddly enough a similar thing is depicted on this vintage Hermes scarf.

Stevenson’s use of insects, typically reviled in fashion is also very beautiful. Stevenson is pushing the fashion item into your hands, getting you to turn it over and over.

The beauty about Stevensons work is that is takes you away to somewhere new, it might not be a beautiful place at times but that doesnt seam to matter, it is the interest that keeps you watching.
