Pine Breeze Dandy (2004)
Michael Stutz (Encinitas, Calif.)
Woven bronze strips and stainless steel frame
Michael Stutz’s signature technique weaves and welds bronze to capture this graceful horse in motion. His work investigates the history, physical characteristics, and daily activity at the site of each of his works. In the case of Pine Breeze Dandy, the subject reflects the purpose of the facility and the title was inspired by the pine trees surrounding the wooded site. Stutz stated, “My role as an artist…involves a great deal of communicating, educating, and listening.”
