Shape describes the two-dimensionality of objects in our world while form describes an object with three-dimensions. Two-dimensional shapes, like a flat piece of paper, can be bent, folded, or creased to create an object with form. Red and Blue Pony , by Kevin Box, has the unique quality of being folded from a flat paper shape into a standing form. On a small scale this type of paper forming is called origami. Box creates both small and large origami forms. His works range in size from 2.5 inches to 10 feet! While most sculptors working in bronze create the original sculpture in clay or wax, Box uses large sheets of paper and coats them in wax to give the forms strength. A mold is then made from it for casting in bronze. Red and Blue Pony can be seen from any direction as viewers walk around the horses or pass on a near-by path through the Benton Sculpture Garden.
