- Biographical Information
- The first panel (going from left to right), depicts abstracted representations of modes of transportation of the past. It contains abstracted images of the bones of the foot (walking), a horse (riding), a ship and sails and roads. The second panel represents present modes of transportation. Cars, trucks, train, tires, and roads in abstracted form, also incorporating Mt. Hood. The third panel represents future modes of transportation. Its abstracted forms contain a spaceship, rocket, and meteor. All three panels abstracted forms are interwoven with an overall concept of movement. (Ossowski, 1988)
