hello hi! it's me, horse funeral. my name that you call me in real life is erin. i use they/them pronouns. i've been making art forever. the name "horse funeral" just surreptitiously appeared in my brain one day while walking in the forest and it became my moniker forever. if you see that one post where the guy has the list of band names in his notes app and one of them is horse funeral, just know that i came up with this by accident by myself without ever seeing that post. as i continued to make art early on i started incorporating imagery of weird animals, especially horses, into my art, although this was completely unrelated to the name. i just think horses and other animals such as deer and lambs and bugs are very beautiful and awkward and interesting animals, and i appreciate them the way i would appreciate a modern art piece or something of that sort. within my art, i also focus a lot on transhumanism and non-conformity as a reflection of my own self or just because whatever. who the fuck knows anymore. i make art about love and capitalism and dying and being beautiful and feeling wrong and all sorts of other random tidbits that i have dredged up from my psyche. throughout making art, i've slowly gone from making only serious art to making mostly satirical art to making something that's kind of both but also neither. when i make art, i want it to make no sense and to be beautiful also. i don't want it to tell you anything or show you how you're supposed to feel about it, and instead i want it to silently take your hand let you figure out what it means to you. usually i have meanings or rationales in my own mind when i'm making something, but that doesn't matter because the way anyone else interprets it is bound to be far more interesting and beautiful than anything i could ever think of on my own. i love creating beautiful things for the sake of creating them but also so that people who see them can experience beautiful stupid bullshit too. i think everyone and everything needs to make less sense, and people need to stop putting themselves in boxes and also we should make credit cards for animals. the world is constantly embracing me, and creating art is my way of embracing it back, of continuing to hold it in my arms even after i'm dead. anyhow, thank you for taking a moment to look over my whole deal. i hope it was interesting.
