dressage sculpture chosen for trophy

I was recently asked to create a perpetual trophy from one of my wire sculptures. The horse and rider are created from a single strand of copper wire, which is then nickel-plated, resulting in a shiny chrome-like finish.

The event was a dressage competition, so I designed the base in an oval shape with a rim, painted black to resemble a top hat!

I attached the sculpture to the base with several tiny eye-hook screws... a very challenging endeavour! ...but the end result was quite stunning. I thought I would share it.

Wire horse sculptures

This is the last piece I created in 2007... "Rhythm" is made from copper wire.

I am honored to be in the company of such wonderful equine artists here on this blog.

My work captures the spirit of the horse through the twisting and bending of a single continuos line of wire. The result is a fluid linear sculpture. I invite you visit my online gallery at wireinspire.com to view more of my pieces. Many are available for sale, and I also accept commissions.

I look forward to sharing new work with you here in the future. – Angela Hook, wire sculptor
