Rearing Horse - Figurative Sculpture
Explore the inspiration and process behind this piece.
Rearing Horse began with a pile of adding machine parts. Gabriel was taking apart an adding machine when he looked at the components scattered on the workbench and saw a horse's head in them. The rest followed from there — the same rearing posture that has defined equestrian sculpture from ancient bronzes to Bernini, now assembled from the mechanical innards of an office machine.

The inspiration for Rearing Horse came from taking apart an adding machine and visualizing from the pile of parts, a horse's head.
