Amazing Horse Sculptures - Titanic Branson
Life-size Herd, Created from Fallen Hedge Branches, Corralled for Premier Exhibit at Titanic Museum Attraction.
Art is where you find it, and Rachel Wilson discovered hers on the crop-and-cattle farm she and husband Kyle own and
operate in Avilla, Missouri. Shaped from hedge-wood sticks found on their property, Wilson's extraordinary horse
sculptures have caught the attention of Missouri gallery owners and collectors. And starting July 1, Wilson's work will
be on public display at the Titanic Museum Attraction in Branson, announces museum attraction owner John Joslyn. "I
think our July visitors, especially the kids, will be surprised, and startled, by the realism and motion that Rachel has
captured in her imaginative, hedge-horse sculptures. Each 'horse' has a name and story to tell, from the large plow
horse to the smallest of colts," says Joslyn. "Six sculptures will be herded together outdoors on Titanic's grassy
knoll, where they'll appear to be grazing. They are so life-like they're bound to slow traffic," he adds. |
