Monumental

This sculpture began when I acquired a vintage (1940’s) Fairbanks-Morse magneto that came out of a John Deere tractor. While pondering on what I could make from this part, the rugged draft horse came to mind. These large horse breeds are durable and able to carry a heavy workload which make them popular for farm work or pulling carriages. The magneto, which was once responsible for generating electrical power for the tractor's ignition system, has been reimagined as part of the horse's mechanical torso. The metal components stand out against the horse's natural curves and textures, creating a visual interplay between the organic and the industrial. This sculpture would make a striking addition to any art collection or public space, inviting viewers to contemplate the intricate relationship between nature and technology.
