The image of a porcelain figurine—poised, delicate, and elevated on its plinth. Admired, almost worshipped, it exists in a state of stillness and safety, yet yearns for something beyond the pedestal. The horse in the painting echoes this tension: bound by forces outside its control, it aches to move, to escape the expectations that define it. Despite the appearance of grace, there's a quiet rebellion beneath the surface—a desire to step down, get dirty, and experience the more, even if it means risking the break.

3 questions on inspiration with
Darcy Whent
We're asking artists to choose one notable person, place and object that has inspired them in their journey so far. We're mapping inspiration at a scale never attempted before
01.
Person
One of the most notable figures who has inspired my work is Paula Rego. Her fearless approach to storytelling, particularly around themes of female experience, power, and psychological complexity, has had a lasting impact on how I think about narrative in art. I admire the way she confronts taboo subjects with tenderness and rage, often using fairy tale or folkloric frameworks to speak to very real emotional truths. Like Rego, I’m drawn to the tension between innocence and violence, and the way domestic spaces can become sites of both safety and control. Her work gives permission to be raw, political, and deeply personal all at once.
02.
Place
A place that has significantly shaped my work is my family home in Wales, particularly the surrounding rural landscape. It’s a space layered with memory, grief, and imagination. The fields, horses, and overgrown gardens often reappear in my work—not as direct representations, but as emotional textures that ground my exploration of childhood, motherhood, and identity. It’s a place where time feels folded, and I often return to it in my practice when exploring how the past lingers in the present.
03.
Object
As for an object, a small ceramic horse I’ve kept since childhood continues to inspire me. It’s chipped and faded, but I return to it again and again in my drawings and paintings. It represents both play and fragility—something once loved and handled, now slightly broken but still standing. For me, it embodies the kind of emotional layering I try to bring to my work: objects that carry memory, narrative, and symbolic weight all at once.
