The horses in the median of S. Houghton Rd. are invisible from certain angles, and most easily seen when you are parallel to them.

Mare and Foal

Segment: Broadway Boulevard to 22nd Street
Artists: Simon Donovan, Ben Olmstead and Lauri Slenning
Location: Houghton Road median south of 22nd Street
Completion: October 2016

The larger-than-life Mare and Foal are constructed of parallel stainless steel plates in a unique design that causes the horses to almost disappear from view at certain angles. They are lighted from below at night with a low-level amber light that does not affect the night sky. The sculpture is complemented by the image of grazing horses decorating the retaining wall north of 22nd Street on the east side of Houghton. Interest from the public in representing the significant presence of horses along this segment of the corridor inspired the artists.
