Equine time, Charleston Museum, Charleston, South Carolina, 2013

I moved in on the face of a 19th century clock, emphasizing the insets representing what might be a prized race horse and its owner. My off to one side vantage point makes the horse larger than the person, and my selective focusing stresses the nature of time as the numerals get larger and sharper while racing around the dial. I converted the image to black and white to give the image a better sense of period.

Thanks, Ryan, for your comment on this image. I liked making it because it allowed me to play with emphasis through selective focusing. By making the horse sharp and the woman soft, I create a "racing" context for the variably focused numerals that are spinning around the face of the clock.
