Biography
Deborah Kay Butterfield is an sculptor. She is best known for her sculptures of horses made from found objects, like metal, and especially pieces of wood.
"My work is not so overtly about movement. My horses' gestures are really quite quiet, because real horses move so much better than I could pretend to make things move. For the pieces I make, the gesture is really more within the body, it's like an internalized gesture, which is more about the content, the state of mind or of being at a given instant. And so it's more like a painting...the gesture and the movement is all pretty much contained within the body." Deborah Butterfield
