Horsepower began to gain energy in phases, first with the gears and the twister painted in the background. Bit by bit, the image gained spark, momentum, and a kind of John Henry masculinity. With the addition of the fire in the chamber, the mechanism felt complete and alive. These small wall reliefs are stories in their own compact ecosystems, everything recycled from scrap bins and rummaging around for the right components.
