About This Piece

Talking Horseshoes, interprets the history of The Urban Farm. A large-scale everyday object, the work is playful and recognizable from a distance. It is informed by the natural surroundings of the farm and creates a gathering space for visitors.

The artwork is a universal symbol of good luck and protection. In research, Mary has uncovered both agricultural, travel, and economic systems tied to the horseshoe from various cultures and regions across the globe.

The sculpture invites viewers to move around it and interact not only by sitting in cutout spaces, but through “talking tubes” embedded within the sculpture.
