Runaway Horses


A horse snaps its reins and stampedes across a field of bank notes and Colonial coins. Benjamin Franklin is the unwilling and unwitting jockey on this wild ride. Semi-precious stones, mother-of-pearl, and glass beads - anything that can be traded or has been traded - are scattered across the path.

Acrylic on paper and printed cotton with glass, mother-of-pearl, tiger's eye, hematite and 22K gold leaf. 12 x 16 cm.
