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.
For other uses, see Pistachio (disambiguation). The pistachio (/pÉªËstÉËÊiËoÊ, -ËstÃ¦-/, Pistacia vera), a member of the cashew family, is a small tree originating from Central Asia and the Middle East. The tree produces seeds that are widely consumed as food. Pistacia vera often is confused with other species in the genus Pistacia that are also known as pistachio.
