Blue Shell Horse

Description:

Inspired by Franz Marc's Blue Horses and a book of Mary Oliver's poetry by the same name, I translated the painting's emotion into sculpture. I wanted to explore the theme of freedom and nature that Marc and Oliver evoke, giving it my own twist. Using sea shells and found objects—like rubber ducks, duct tape, and popsicle sticks—I shaped a horse. I created this piece during a 3D class at Tufts' three-week summer camp.
