The White Horse

The White Horse (2010)

Based on the theme of Wiltshire’s White Horses, the simplicity of this life-sized sculpture of a thoroughbred mare is based on the Uffington White Horse.

 

The shape of the horse suggested by floating plates and the piece was built from bent steel tubing and powder coated steel plates.

Students at Pewsey Vale school worked with Charlotte Moreton to create a White Horse of their own.The sculpture was previewed at the opening event of the 2010 Salisbury International Arts Festival and officially unveiled by Phil Harding of Channel 4’s TimeTeam programme on 21st September 2010.
