Fred Reid’s billboard features a piece called “Willie goes to Stonehenge”, a collaborative drawing made with his then 6-year-old daughter, Sienna Reid. Sienna drew lots of horses, inspired by the horses stabled in her neighbor’s corral growing up. One winter, a particular horse, Willie, wandered onto the ice and became trapped in the frozen Truckee. Fred and the horse’s owner tried to rescue it, but Willie died on the shore. On the day of the incident, Fred was working with a white unicorn with a rainbow wing that Sienna had drawn, and that horse became Willie. Afterward, Willie went all over the world in Fred and Sienna’s imagination, doing all the things he might have wanted to if he lived. This work of cyanotype print on fabric is located at Virginia Street & Cheney Street (on Recycled Records Building).
