Is it possible for a sculpture to stir feelings of empathy in us? Here at the Avselad kamp Sculpture, we might just find out. The Avselad kamp Sculpture, crafted in bronze by artist Marylyn Hamilton Gierow in 1992, isn’t just a work of art, it’s a poignant tribute to a forgotten hero: the draft horse. For millennia, these powerful creatures toiled alongside humanity, their strength essential to our world. Yet, the 20th century saw their role diminish as technology replaced muscle. Gierow’s sculpture captures this bittersweet transition. The horse, frozen mid-stride, appears to turn back towards a bygone era. It’s as if it carries the weight of centuries on its bronze shoulders. Notice the inscription on the pedestal: “The animal turns halfway towards a bygone era, itself a living link between the present and the past.” Powerful, isn’t it? As you stand before the Avselad kamp Sculpture, take a moment to appreciate the immense contribution of these animals. Their strength built our cities and helped shape our world.
