Untitled (Horse Form)

Johnston was commissioned after presenting the concept of creating an environment of sculptural pieces at various sites and levels in the main quad area of the campus near the science facility. The colors of these pieces reference the interior color scheme of the ventilation and heating system. All of the satellite pieces were anchored with the free-standing fun and whimsical “horse form” at the center of the quad. This work was destroyed in 1996. It has since been restored and re-installed in another location on the campus of Utah Valley State College. The restored work reflects a more somber and less playful form reflecting the trauma and stress experienced by the artist after the work’s destruction.
