Hara, Bronze sculpture at Lynden Sculpture Garden, Milwaukee, US
Hara is a bronze sculpture at Lynden Sculpture Garden that depicts a standing horse with its head lowered in a meditative posture. The work captures subtle body language and detailed surface textures that reflect the natural qualities of the original form.
The work was created in 1989 when the artist was well-established in bronze casting. This period marked a shift from her earlier use of found materials to a more refined metalworking approach.
The sculpture depicts a horse in a contemplative pose that reflects inner feelings rather than traditional military or heroic imagery. The artist uses this form to express personal thoughts and emotions.
You can view the sculpture within the Lynden Sculpture Garden grounds during regular visiting hours. The grounds are easy to navigate, and the work is clearly visible and accessible from multiple viewpoints.
The bronze casting process captures every detail of the original form and preserves the natural textures from the underlying material. This gives the sculpture a lifelike quality that sets it apart from idealized horse depictions.
