Eco-Friendly Sculpture {Unexpected, Emotional, Stunning}

I ran across this amazing sculpture by artist Gretchen Ten Eyck Hunt's, which was created with 14-gauge electric fence wire. The wire medium was obtained in an unusual way, her blind mare accidentally stuck her head under the wire fence, pulling out 300 linear feet of wire. The horse was not seriously injured, but Gretchen was left with the tangled wire and the emotion from the accident. She did a beautiful job transforming her emotions and the tangled wire into a stunning piece of art!
