I was inspired to create this body of work very early on a Sunday morning when I was peacefully driving down Allen Parkway toward downtown. “Could You Be Loved” by Bob Marley was on the radio. The asphalt street, slightly curving to the right, sparkled in the sunlight. The second I saw the cyclists, I was inspired by their images, lines, the rhythm they shared, and the camaraderie that bound them. I remember Houston’s downtown skyline was lathered in dark shadows, the construction cranes motionless. The riders’ silhouettes, with broad shoulders and fit waistlines, bobbed back and forth over my dashboard as their black, spindle-like legs pumped the pedals right, left, right, left, never straying from the pool of their shadows, which dripped like oil into puddles. I stayed a safe distance behind and studied the rhythm of their images. Their body language, energy, and sense of being part of a pack stayed with me. The series currently consists of eighteen works on paper and three lenticulars.
