"This Is A Story About Control"
A body of work created in 2023-24 by Cece Liu in her Los Angeles studio, these ten drawings explore the themes of power and control, and what it means to wield both. Rendered through the motif of the horse, manmade apparatus like the metal bit and leather straps mark the visible ways we impart control on a great amount of power, but begs the question what is real control?
The title This Is A Story About Control comes from the spoken introduction to the first track on Janet Jackson's album Control, which played on repeat in the studio.
A selection of these works are on display at Summit Equestrian in North Salem, New York. Prints are available upon request.
