Frames 1-11 used for animation, frame 12 not used. Kamish used a similar film of a horse running and found that he could combine the 12 repeating frames of a horse gallop into 6 unique sculptures set into a four foot high relief. The merging of Art & Science. All this information was then taken by Kamish who skillfully sculpted this piece so that it would come to life; thus resulting in a perfect gallop of a horse running.

Using the typical bright colors of the modern jockey, Kamish artistically painted these jockey’s using the same scheme of a color prism, thus being very attractive to the eye.
