Stone Poneys Tucson, Arizona 2022 Steel, granite, concrete, glass cullet, LEDs 72" x 55.3" x 122" This sculpture is a play on the ubiquitous gabion structures that exist in Tucson’s washes and greater landscape. The horse forms are mirror images of Donovan, Olmstead & Slenning’s “Mare and Foal” sculpture at Houghton and 22nd Street, but here they are constructed from steel rod, steel plate and granite. Rock is placed in the cage structure to create the illusion of horses by the roadside drinking from a small body of water (integral colored concrete and glass). Three gabion benches of rock and glass are in the background. The name “Stone Poneys” is also meant as a tribute to localmusic icon Linda Ronstadt’s band. This is a posthumous collaboration with artist Lauri Slenning, as the horse forms were based on her original Mare & Foal maquette.
