Persian Horse

This model was inspired by my long friendship with Ali Bahmani. Like my other recent designs, it is not a realistic representation but a deliberately stylized, abstract composition of forms, attempting to capture the character of a Persian miniature. A color change produces a contrasting saddle, mane, hooves, and if desired, contrasting tail. The model is part of a series of four—including an American box turtle, an Indian automobile, and a Japanese Godzilla--I developed over several decades from a single, box-pleated base. In this presentation, I will teach the Persian Horse and demonstrate the process of evolution and transformation leading to the creation of the four models.
