Sculpture Information

When I shone the light into the original slab of blue alabaster, I could see there were two sculptures: a horse’s head and a female figure. I tried to make the two forms work together but couldn’t get them to make sense with each other, so I decided to split the stone. This horse’s head is an incredible match with the stone. An equestrian lady said that even the veins on the head were where her horse’s veins would swell after being on a ride.

The mane was white and there appears to be dribbling from the eyes.  I named it Areion because in Greek Mythology Areion is divinely bred and the offspring of Poseidon and Demeter two of the most important Greek gods. This blue alabaster can no longer be found across the globe so this sculpture is a real collectors’ piece.
