Mustangs and…Burning Man?

From the Nevada Bureau of Land Management Facebook

A new herd of wild horses is descending on the Black Rock Desert for 2022’s Burning Man festival.

The Wild Horses of the American West project is rounding up more than a dozen life-size sculptures from local and international artists to bring awareness to environmental concerns surrounding the West’s wild horses.

“Everyone loves horses. Wild horses are beautiful,” said organizer Adrian Landon. “But the bottom line is they need to be managed.”

Landon stated, "the complexity and diversity of this project metaphorically reflects the many facets of the issue itself, and emphasizes the natural beauty, grace and majesty of horses. Stetson said, "the sculptures materialize the importance for us to find swift and proactive common ground and solutions that will keep sustainable numbers of healthy wild horses on the range and in balance with the ecosystem."

[One of the artists,] a 34-year Air Force veteran and Reno native uses art as a form of therapy. He compiled his piece from all found materials, either from the desert or dumpster diving in Reno.

“I really discovered making things helps my demons inside,” he said. “I enjoy going and finding: the hunt for the scrap metal, then the build.”

He describes his horse as hungry, pregnant and kind of skeletal. He worries that too many horses in the desert will lead to real-life versions of his sculpture.

“They’re everywhere now. It used to be a rare treat and rarity to see them. Now, you drive around every day and see them,” he said. “I love them, but it’s a lot.”

i missed bluegrass soooooo bad living in ireland i played it all the time and would like. dramatically be homesick about it and have a #wideopenspaces moment. but now i’m in an environment where my manager is piping it through where i work 1000% of the time. and honest to christ i can say with certainty that i wish the banjo had never been invented.

#callie speaks #ENOUGH !!!

You all know I'm a South Jersey artist now but for today's #marchmeetthemaker I'll tell you where I'm from originally. I was born in Rochester, NY but, shortly before I started 5th grade, we moved out to Pavilion, NY, a very rural area in the western part of NY. My house was surrounded by trees, farms, fields and rolling hills. My love of nature really took off here as I spent a lot of time hiking the woods around my house and at parks like Letchworth state park.I also loved running around the backyard with my cat Bitsy. Yep, I was a crazy cat lady from a young age. After I met my husband, I moved to North Jersey and lived in Rutherford and West Orange. They're lovely towns but I needed open spaces and woods to feel truly happy. Here in Medford, NJ, I have the great balance of proximity to cities and the ocean but also have woods to hike through and a bigger backyard to relax in. I do miss the beauty of upstate NY though and hope to get back to visit again soon. #sleepycatjewelry #meetthejewelrymaker #upstateny #whereimfrom #roots #crazycatlady #pavilionny #westernny #rural #wideopenspaces #jewelryartist #silversmith #inspiredbynature #getoutside #imatreehugger #ilovecats #njartist #ooakjewelry #rusticjewelry #meetthemaker #makersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CbLl2_guPGk/?utm_medium=tumblr
