deborah butterfield’s inspiration is the horse and two of her trademark sculptures are fea- tured in the park. Each piece has a unique personali- ty and many are based upon real animals. In compar- ing the works here, one is struck by the difference American, born 1949 American, deborah in scale and the distinct personalities of the animals. Ancient Forest was commissioned by John and Mary Pappajohn for this park and the artist confessed it took her two years to talk herself into starting the large work. Notice the forthright and assertive neck and head of Ancient Forest, suggesting the animal is quite content with our presence. Juno, on the other hand, has a more bashful manner, shown through the introspective, lowered neck position. Perhaps the most striking aspect of Butterfield’s sculptures is their ability to fool the eye with the materials from which they are made. The horses are created through a meticulous process that takes nearly three months to complete. The artist begins by selecting a handful of substantial branches that are then in- dividually cast and reassembled to form the basic shape for each horse. Butterfield then attaches real sticks to the metal armature until she achieves the gesture and demeanor she wishes to portray. The sculpture is then meticulously photographed and disassembled so the individual wooden elements can be cast in bronze. Finally the metal branches are reattached to the original armature and a patina is applied to the bronze that enhances the look and texture of wood.

American, born China 1933 American, mark

mark di suvero’s monumentally-scaled abstract sculptures are made primarily of industrial I-beams and heavy gauge metal. He composes his sculptures directly in the ma- terials without the use of scale-drawn plans or models. He is able to work this way because he operates everything from the crane and anchor to the torch and hammer. Of the rela- tionship between fabrication and composition he says, “Just as poetry can’t happen if you don’t know how to use words, you have to handle all the methods in order to reach the moment when you can do the dreams.”

T8 confronts viewers with somewhat familiar, industrial ma- terials, but in di Suvero’s hands the rigid seriousness of the steel has been transformed into a lithe, energy-filled struc- ture. This vitality is enhanced as the viewer walks around and through the work, taking in the composition from multiple angles. While the sculpture stands on four legs firmly planted on the ground, these appendages become entangled in a knot of activity as they move skyward, and what formerly appeared stable and balanced, morphs into a burst of animated energy. The work is painted in the artist’s signature bright orange-red color, creating maximum contrast against the blue sky.
