Hood for Monstrance for a Grey Horse

Hood for Monstrance for a Grey Horse

Nuclear Science and Fine Art

Color photograph showing the right side of the hood fabricated as a conceptual component for his sculpture Monstrance for a Grey Horse. The hood features stylized forms echoing the horse skull design of the main sculpture. This element is not currently displayed with the sculpture at its Texas location, as the hood was never completed. The photograph was likely taken within Acord’s workshop, emphasizing the creative process and technical construction behind the work. The hood exemplifies Acord’s integration of form and nuclear art concepts.
