| "Stoic Horse" Fero-cement, L 72" x H 56" Purchased by the City/ County Library 1985 San Luis Obispo, CA |
| This
is a large horse, short legs, very fun to sit on. He now lives inside the beautiful San Luis Obispo City/County library and people are no longer allowed to sit on him. One nice thing about his present location however is that he is placed at the base of a stairwell. From the very top floor you can look down on him and have a lovely view of his plumpness. He is made of fero-cement, meaning that like the fero-cement boats, he is hollow, and is made of thin layers of concrete troweled over thin layers of expanded metal lathe. I worked hard to give every square inch of him a slightly compound curve. That means shaped like an eggshell curving in all directions, and thus very strong. |
