Incredible Sculptures by Gloucester’s own, Kris Francis

Posted on by Donna Ardizzoni

When driving down Magnolia Avenue the beautiful Sculptures from Horseshoes and Repurposed Metal by local artist Kris Francis, always makes you want to look carefully at this amazing piece of art.

On Saturday, talked with Kris and he told me that there is about 900 horseshoes and this horse weighs almost 800 pounds.  The eyelashes are made from horseshoe nails.  Kris is a very kind and talented artist.  The detail of the eyes, mouth, ears and tails are clear.   You can find his information on Instagram JKFmetal.  Thank you, Kris, for talking with me today.
