“The life of Maureen Enns has been remarkable. She has compressed more experience into the last decade than most of us would dream to have in a lifetime. Her British Columbia childhood was shaped by horses and a love of riding. It was then that she began to develop her sensitivity to large, powerful animals, and an innate understanding of the relationship of the human animal to the horse began to grow in her. The people that she worked with while learning to saddle a horse, to ride, and to handle horse equipment, have shaped this sensitivity. On a more basic level, her relationships to horses, a sensory relationship of touch, movement, smell, feel, and mutual cooperation, began through the gear she and others used, and as a result, the tack; spurs, bridles, girth straps, bits and boots, have become a focal point in her new work.”
