Shire Horse

Andrew Kay - wrought iron

 

Part of the Gyosei Art Trail in Milton Keynes

 

Along the Grand Union Canal the Gyosei Art Tral comprises eight art works linked by the themes of Japanese Connections, Canal History, Fish, Fowl, Insects and Invertebrates.

 

Andrew has created a powerful shire horse whose steady toil propelled the barges of yesteryear along the towpaths of the Grand Union Canal.

 

Andrew says he's tried to capture the huge strength and solidity of a Shire, while also suggesting the calm and resolute approach to the task in hand.
