Born in San Diego, California, on the day of the 75th running of the
Kentucky Derby, Deborah Butterfield credits this event as determining
her career as a modernist sculptor of horses.
Her work is a
combination of abstraction and reality. She uses found objects*,
related to both horses and the discards of modern society, and applies
these symbolic objects to armaments that are realistic shapes of
horses' bodies. The overall effect is of a large, strong,
loveable animal (showing 500 of 9691 characters). |
