Claudette Schreuders: Great Expectations
R200The figure of a white horse embodies the fantasy of romance, locating the cast of characters within the space of fiction. It is here that children’s projections of their adult selves play out their imaginary lives – in ‘the realms of the unreal’, as the outsider artist Henry Darger termed it. In the sculpture that lends its title to the group, a girl lies on her bed, daydreaming; another gathers up her long hair, echoing the self-absorbed reverie of Balthus’ 1955 Nude before a Mirror. Other characters include Loved Ones, a girl with bare breasts; a pair of best friends/rivals; the bust of a young boy; Song; and a lovebird on its perch.
