These magnificent animals roam free in the Rooisand nature reserve, at the mouth of the Botriver, in South Africa. I recently spent 4 months following them around and they have become like a sexond family to me. They are rumoured to be descendants of horses hidden in the vlei when the English were advancing during the Anglo Boer War in the 1890's. They play a very important role in the wetlands by keeping the waterways open ensuring that all the rivers flow freely and there are no stagnant pools. They have uniquely adapted to life in the marshy areas. Their hooves are double the size of 'normal' hooved horses.

After a few days of experimentation we dropped some ice blocks into a swimming pool and were mesmerised by the results. When immersed in water, the ice cracked and created a totally unique canvas. Within the process of freezing and thawing, strange and exciting things happened.
We spent about a year photographing more than a hundred blocks of ice-arrangements. Most of the time the conditions weren’t perfect or the ice-blocks had developed a cloudiness, which obscured the flowers. After a few months we perfected the process and were able to get together enough material for an exhibition.The process
Flowers are frozen overnight in plastic containers and then photographed at dawn in the nearest pool, stream or puddle. Upon hitting the water the ice-blocks crack randomly and together with the bubbles formed during the freezing process, create an unique picture.Why ice? "I find it fascinating that ice can preserve something and at the same time also enhance or distort the beauty of it. For a few fleeting moments, we are treated to this preserved beauty, the past encapsulated perfectly, before the ice melts and flowers wilt. "
