The 15-foot bronze sculpture, Spirit, features five life-size
frolicking horses. Spirit is the masterful creation of Buck McCain,
a Tucson based artist, who has emerged as one of the masters of modern
monumental bronzes. Conceived to stand as a guardian at the entrance
to the former FFCA Headquarters, the work is much more than a bold and
beautiful expression of corporate art. Spirit bespeaks the same energy
and courage that settled America in the past and now sweeps it towards
an exciting future. Its strength and exuberance are symbolic of the
philosophy and enterprise of a significant corporate culture flourishing
in the southwest. Buck McCain wanted to create something great in the
desert. He has captured in the grace and strength of the horse a metaphor
for the American west and those visionary personalities who have made
it their home.
