Illumination
At the center of this whimsical scene is a figure sculpted from copper wire riding a toy horse. Using found objects like a poodle brooch and a shard of glass, Ward Lockwood uses the magic of this imagined vignette to evoke landscapes of the American Southwest for which he was best known. In this case, the landscape is contained within an old refrigerator.
