ABOUT THE ARTWORK
DETAILS AND DIMENSIONS
SHIPPING AND RETURNS
I made this piece whilst on a UK scholarship to Carrara, Italy to learn about marble carving. Prior to this I was working in architectural stone restoration. I saw a rather damaged plaster cast of a horse head in a neighbouring workshop and liked the form, dynamism and scale of the piece.
