Butterfield's work is a combination of abstraction and reality. She uses found objects, related to both horses and the discards of modern society, and applies these symbolic objects to armaments that are realistic shapes of horses' bodies.
Pisco is a colorless or yellowish-to-amber colored brandy produced in winemaking regions of Peru and Chile. Made by distilling grape wine into a high-proof spirit, it was developed by 16th century Spanish settlers as an alternative to orujo, a pomace brandy that was being imported from Spain. Peruvian pisco peculiarity is that the first part of the distillation (called the heads) is kept and mixed in with the rest of the distillate. Re-adding the 'heads' adds more 'character', and is how Peruvians traditionally liked it.
Peruâs National Drink (alcoholic) Pisco (Aguardiente de Pisco = full name) is Peru's national drink and the pride and joy of every Peruvian. It's distilled from grapes grown in the Ica region (south of the capital Lima). The Pisco is mostly colorless; sometimes it has a slightly amber tone.
