Driftwood Horses
Click through to see these impressive driftwood horses by British sculptor Heather Jansch at rense.com.
I found the link at Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Blogosphere where we are told that Heather got the idea of making horses of driftwood thus:
One day while I was out, my son couldn’t find any kindling wood to light the wood-burner and had chopped up a piece of ivy that had grown round a fencing stake. He’d left behind a short section that I immediately saw as a horse’s torso of the right size to fit straight into the coper wire piece I was working on. The next question was where could I find more or similar shapes, and the answer was of course driftwood.
The British, I suppose, are nearly as horse-obsessed as we Kentuckians. But a horse is an elegant beast and so are these sculptures elegant.
