A long grey wall of hounds and horses galloping in sequence, every one of them with wings. In the grass in front: white clawfoot bathtubs.
In 1878 Eadweard Muybridge settled an argument about whether a galloping horse ever has all four feet off the ground by photographing one in a row of frames. Every animation, every flipbook and every sports replay descends from that strip. Andrew Pahmiyer painted the strip onto a wall on North 7th Street — hounds and a horse in black-and-white brush line, laid out in a running sequence so your eye reads them as one animal moving down the wall — and then gave every one of them wings.
Pahmiyer is a Waco illustrator with an illustration degree from SCAD, listed in Creative Waco’s Visual Art directory. He has worked on the Waco High Tiger Square and Rams Place murals, and on “Waco Forever” at Seventh Street Plaza alongside Stephen Uhey, who directs Creative Waco’s ARTprenticeship program. He signed this wall @andrewpahmiyer, which is how we can tell you any of this.
The white clawfoot bathtubs sitting in the grass in front of the wall are not ours to explain. They are there. They are part of it now.
