🐴 “The Eden Horse” — By Heather Jansch in Devon, England, UK 🇬🇧

The neck, body and legs are built from pieces of driftwood. Heather Jansch (1948–2021) became known for life-size horses made from driftwood. One of them was voted the most popular artwork at the Eden Project in Cornwall and has been known as The Eden Horse ever since. This photo was taken in her garden in Olchard, Devon.

💡 Eden Fact: The original driftwood horse at Eden’s entrance grew so fragile that it went to the foundry to be cast in bronze, so it can be kept.
