MILE AND A SIXTEENTH (AND CHANGE)
Eighteen 12" x 12" panels
The original is available for $15,000.

This piece depicts an entire horse race from start to finish, from the perspective of inside rail, outside fence, head on, etc. From the horses loading into the gate to pulling up after the wire. I invite any potential collectors to be creative with the format.

The idea originated from the purchase of the canvas panels. I wanted to have four across, four down (16). Because the company I ordered the panels from required three to an order, I ended up with 18.

In racing terms, horsemen and women speak of times in racing and workouts in slang. Thus, they'll say, "he worked in 48 and change", rather than give the exact time in fifths or hundredths of a second. So, when I ended up with 18 panels instead of 16, the two extra panels became the "and change". I made the "change" part of the horse pulling up and intentionally separate from the rest of the piece.
