PEGASUS THE CELESTIAL HORSE WAS THE INSPIRATION FOR THIS WORK BASED ON THE SADDLEBRED HORSE. INSCRIBED ON THE SIDE OF THE HORSE ARE THE CHINESE SYMBOLS FOR 'STAR TREKER'....WHICH PAYS HOMAGE TO THE STAR TREK PHILOSOPHY 'TO BOLDLY GO WHERE NO BEING HAS GONE BEFORE".....
THE WORK WAS CREATED AT THE SAME TIME AS THE 'BUTTERFLY NEBULA', REFERENCING THE COSMIC NATURE OF THE SUBJECT MATTER.
GRAPHITE AND GOLD INK ARE THE EXPRESSIVE MEDUIM THAT CONVEYS THE DYNAMISM OF THE WORK.
