The White Horse is a symbol Sally chose for a journey she made to reacquaint with her cultural roots in the United Kingdom and Eastern Mediterranean.

The installation was first conceived by her during a visit to a stone circle on Bodmin Moor in Cornwall, U. K. The nucleus of the installation is a sculpture that suggests 'a whisper: of a horse', an expression of the energy fields of a flying horse, minimal, skeletal, thrown-up and scattered in a random reassemblage of thought forms, learnt once and rediscovered in a dream on Bodmin Moor.

In Celtic mythology the White Horse is the attribute of Epona, Goddess of creativity. In Greek mythology the white-winged horse Pegasus springs from the severed head of the Medusa and depicts the passage from one plane of consciousness to another.

Part of the installation is a circle of hanging veils made of plastic. Plastic for the artist signifies the cast off skin of our civilisation and she still associates it with the flotillas of debris that were washed up on the beaches of Cyprus as a result of civil unrest in the Levant. The veils are covered in marks which Sally calls 'the sea's graffiti'.

Lying on a bed of sand are small clay sculptures which were inspired by Archaic Cypriot grave sculptures. Sally Spencer
