About this Artwork:
.
I remember one of my favorite road trips from my early 20's, when on a spur-of-the-moment a bunch of
friends piled into a little Jetta in NH and hit the road for NYC to the races at Belmont.
I'd never been to a horse race, and I was stunned at the power and speed and wild energy
as the packs of horses flew around the track.

For this piece, I used many different cottons, silks, jacquard sateens and faux leathers. The piece is
fused and satin stitched applique. The quilting highlights the contours of the muscles and clothing,
and the wind as they fly past the crowd. The border is chocolate microfleece.
The piece is mounted on a stretched canvas frame, wired for hanging.
