Then as he continued working, he merged the two, smoothed down the surfaces to the metallic glisten of machinery. Only the vaguest form of a hoof in the cubistic sculpture resembles a steed thundering down the stretch. Fetlocks and hindquarters dissolved into the hard shape of cams, pistons and gears.
