The idea for creating sculptures using Longhorns came from years of working with horns and developing a deep appreciation for the material. The colors and shapes are like nothing else found in nature. Each piece is created to focus purely and simply on the beauty of the horn. While sorting through the hundreds of horns that I work with each year I set aside the ones with the most beautiful, interesting, and unique colors and shapes and those are what are used for the sculptures.

A beautiful pair of big, thick horns tangled together. They have amazing colors. At the bases there is a mix of shades of grays and browns with black. As they more up there is a marbled white strip and then to solid black. They are arranged in a tangle, emphasizing they’re symmetry of beautiful colors and there massive thickness as well as the large curving shape.
