Trojan Horses by Toronto ceramic artist Wendy Walgate.
A real colour contrast to Walgate’s Play, Trojan Horses began with a pair of 1950’s discarded ceramic horse containers, which could have been used as bookends or planters in their day.
The artist explains: “I framed the piece with the black ceramic horses on the bottom and a large ‘Clydesdale’ horse on the top - with a golden pig on his back. When it was finished it seemed as if the contents of the horse bookends were spilling upward, similar to the surprise of the contents of the famous Trojan Horse.”
