Description

"Gem-like comics explore the origins of creativity and the pursuit of happiness with a gentle, self-aware wit. "Sometimes I dream about myself-and in my dream I'm someone else-But also, I am me-becoming the horse that I want to be." Was it always like this? What if your self portrait was a collection of weird shapes? Have you ever felt like an abstract painting? Do you ever simultaneously wish and worry that the boundaries of your body will melt away and you'll become a magnificent horse? Becoming Horses is a book about squinting hard and looking from the right angle to find that everything around you sparkles--just a little--and the shapes of things are not firm but fuzzy. The You you know may shift and take form as a beautiful horse, a sunset, or something so special, so huge that you could never describe it. Disa Wallander's Becoming Horses is a mix of delicate cartooning and brash collage--watercolor and photography. Her colorful flowing drawings and watercolors are experimental yet accessible, as her characters mull big questions about life and art, philosophizing in a thoroughly modern voice. Bright dialogue and pleading silences create a beautiful journey that is, in fact, "the destination.""--Publisher's website.
