Project Concept

“Dual Nature: The Spirit of the Horse” is a sculptural installation that celebrates both the natural beauty and cultural richness of the Colorado landscape. This piece features a life-sized horse sculpture with two distinct sides:

• The Natural Side: Crafted from reclaimed wood pieces carefully fitted together, this side emphasizes the raw, tactile presence of the horse. The use of natural wood reflects sustainability, craftsmanship, and the historical relationship between the land and its creatures.
• The Painted Side: The opposite face is adorned with a vibrant mural inspired by the Colorado wilderness. This mural depicts a running herd of horses across a mountain-lined prairie, evoking motion, freedom, and connection to the land. The use of color and line echoes traditional Western and Indigenous art forms.

Artistic Goals

The piece aims to:

• Bridge natural and cultural elements by uniting organic material with painted narrative.
• Engage diverse audiences through its tactile, photographic, and interpretive qualities.
• Celebrate regional identity, especially the iconic symbolism of horses in Colorado history and heritage.
• Spark reflection on the duality between wilderness and human expression, permanence and movement.

Materials and Construction

• Structure: A reinforced internal steel armature will support the sculpture and withstand weather exposure.
• Woodwork: Reclaimed cedar and oak wood pieces will be sanded, treated, and assembled into the silhouette of a horse.
• Mural Surface: One flat or semi-contoured side of the horse will be primed for painting, using high-durability acrylic paints with UV protection.
• Base: The sculpture will be mounted on a low concrete or stone base with optional interpretive signage.

---

Maintenance Plan

The wood will be treated with sealant to ensure weather resistance. The mural side will be coated with UV and graffiti protection. Annual inspections are recommended for structural integrity and paint condition.
