When horses fly
Russell Ferguson’s foundation students have been doing some intense studies of horses. The students traveled to the West Bottoms to sketch from live horses at the American Royal’s Quarter Horse Show and at a private owner’s paddock. Using these figure studies, the students have created large, three-dimensional sculptures of horses using brown butcher paper. Their creations are currently suspended from the ceiling of the studio and serve as inspiration for additional sketches. This week, students will focus on creating wearable horse heads for use in a parade in October at the Dolphin Gallery.
