Horse-Woman
Horse-Woman is a poetic memoir about how the author finds herself working as a fashion model, whilst trying to write and paint, in bohemian late-1970s London bedsit land. As a socially and emotionally isolated child who hardly spoke, Sarah Tremlett was given a young horse to look after, which ultimately was sold against her wishes, due to studying for A-levels. In this account of events, in order to survive, Sarah’s autistic psyche creates a mythical, ‘otherkin’ horse persona which protects and interweaves with her roller coaster life in the fashion world. The book contains examples of her early paintings, including Horsewoman.
