“Thundering Metal” – (metal horse) plus image

I got into this work because I needed an extension from a wooden sculpture of a horse I had already assembled and I decided that a metal version of the horse would be cool, and also we’d done a little bit of metal and welding in my Sculpture class and I wanted to explore it further. “Thundering Metal” turned out really well and I’m happy with the result my dad and I achieved over an addition of days. My favourite part of the metal horse would have to be chain legs because the shape looks great but it was so difficult to weld and hold together.
