A Beautiful Representation of Community
"The Whitehorse Horse"的点评
点评：Installed in 2011 atop Two Mile Hill, Daphne Mennell’s “The Horse of Whitehorse” (also called the “Whitehorse Horse”) is constructed entirely of recycled metals. Weighing more than two tonnes, and standing over three metres high, this “recycled” sculpture overlooks the city of Whitehorse like a beacon of cultural and social memory; however, it also serves a dual purpose: While the “Whitehorse Horse” functions as a cultural vessel of memories, it also suggests how a community – a cultural mosaic – can come together and celebrate a rich and varied heritage in the here and now. This latter interpretation, I think, is most fitting, especially given how Whitehorse has diversified in the last decade.
When Daphne Mennell began working on the sculpture in 2009, she put a callout to Yukoners across the Territory for donations of scrap metal. It was a slow process that took nearly two years but, when it was all said and done, Mennell received donations from more than 200 people clear across the Yukon. Thus, when she and welder Roger Poole began putting the sculpture together, it very much became a “community” project in the sense that each piece came from every corner of the Yukon: Each chunk of scrap metal has its own story – comes from its own time and place – and highlights a “community’s” story. Indeed, when one realizes this, the sculpture becomes doubly beautiful: A sense of togetherness in an otherwise fragmented time.
Whitehorse, as a city, is very much the hub of the Yukon Territory: When you visit the Yukon, be it by air, rail or car, you will inevitably pass through Whitehorse. You will shop, visit and leave your mark. That is why the “Horse of Whitehorse” is such a powerful contemporary sculpture: It captures not just the essence of a city, but of a whole Territory and community – and it’s such a beautiful thing.

翻译：达芙妮·梅内尔 (Daphne Mennell) 的“白马之马”(The Horse of Whitehorse)（也被称为“白马之马”）于 2011 年安装在 Two Mile Hill 山顶，完全由回收金属制成。这个“回收”雕塑重达两吨多，高三米多，俯瞰着怀特霍斯市，就像一座文化和社会记忆的灯塔；然而，它还有双重用途：虽然“白马之马”是文化记忆的载体，但它也表明一个社区——一个文化马赛克——如何聚集在一起，庆祝丰富多样的文化遗产。我认为后一种解释最合适，特别是考虑到怀特霍斯在过去十年中的多元化程度。
当达芙妮·梅内尔 (Daphne Mennell) 于 2009 年开始制作雕塑时，她呼吁整个育空地区的人捐赠废金属。这是一个缓慢的过程，耗时近两年，但最终，梅内尔收到了来自育空地区 200 多人的捐赠。因此，当她和焊工 Roger Poole 开始组装雕塑时，它就成为了一个“社区”项目，因为每一件作品都来自育空地区的每个角落：每一块废金属都有自己的故事——来自自己的时间和地点——并凸显了一个“社区”的故事。事实上，当人们意识到这一点时，雕塑就会变得更加美丽：在原本支离破碎的时代中，有一种团结的感觉。
怀特霍斯是育空地区的中心：当您访问育空地区时，无论是乘飞机、火车还是汽车，您都不可避免地会经过怀特霍斯。您将购物、参观并留下自己的印记。这就是为什么“怀特霍斯之马”是一个如此强大的当代雕塑：它不仅捕捉了一座城市的精髓，还捕捉了整个地区和社区的精髓——它是如此美丽。
