Elizabeth Frink.

I was volunteering this morning at Swindon Museum and Art. I popped into the Frink exhibition again- it’s so lovely to just pop in for 10 minutes and see one or two things, rather than feeling that you need to “do” the whole place in one go.

I went to a talk on Elizabeth Frink last week- she had a fascinating life ( although cut shot far too early).

Horse and Rider (Robed)
Frink surrounded herself with horses at Woolland, real and imagined. She placed horse sculptures on cabinets, mantelpieces and plinths, and hung related drawings and prints on the walls. She positioned larger animal bronzes in the garden, where they mingled with live animals.
Frink enjoyed horse riding and observing horses.
She was interested 'in the form that they embody, in their wild state and their relationship with man'.
