Barrel Racer is a portait of a horse which pays homage to the most wonderful sculpture I know - The Head of a Horse of Selene.  Selene, a female charioteer and the Moon Goddess of ancient Greece was tasked with pulling the moon through the night sky. All that remains of this sculpted narrative from the Parthenon's east pediment was the  head of one horse.  Now residing at the British Museum, its exhaustion and focused athleticism is my inspiration.
