Answer

Deborah Butterfield’s sculpture Woodrow most likely has actual texture because it is constructed from real sticks and branches. The surface appears rough, coarse, uneven, and woody. These textures can be physically felt, not just seen. The natural branches also give the horse an earthy, rustic appearance.
