Women's Studio Workshop, Synopsis: "This book is based on a news story by Steve Crist and a photograph by Vic DeLucia which appeared in The New York Times. It was created from multiple copies of a single image arranged in such a way as to create a visual narrative moving through time and space with discovered poetry emerging from re-aligned text. A Xerox 9400 was used to create the multiples."

Louise Neaderland: "A racehorse throws her rider, goes on to cross the finish line first but is disqualified from winning because she has no rider. Without a rider to rein her in she continues running until impaling herself on a safety barrier. Created from multiples of a single image and the article's text manipulated to create found poetry."
