Dieter Erhardt of Art Center Seadrift announced that EL TORO is completed.
Now a cowgirl is riding the wild one eyed bull, holding a flower with a star blossom in her hand which means a symbol of hope. The hat and boots she is wearing, symbolize a Texas girl.
The girl’s poncho is welded from about 1,000 pieces. She wears a poncho because Dieter did not want to make her “sexy looking”, but to dedicate his work to the strong women in this world.
In June, Dieter is inviting 100 (only) women in order to join the unveiling, with the idea of a fundraiser for the local women’s shelter, to cover some of their needs. So far already $4.800 dollars have come together.
The unveiling speech will be held by Mrs. Mortler, member of the European Parlament. Thereafter, the sculpture, which weighs 15.000 pounds will be for sale.
