About The Artwork
On August 25, 1804, Alicia Meynell competed in a horse race over a four-mile course at York, becoming the first woman known to have done so. It was a staggering event, a woman was challenging a man in a horse race. Since Alicia rode sidesaddle, she was prevented from using her usual whip hand for fear of interfering with her opponent and, unfortunately, she lost that race. But Alicia would go on to race again in the next two years, becoming the first woman to win a match race in 1805. This is a limited edition of 15. Because this sculpture would have to be ordered from the foundry there is an approximate 10 week waiting period.

South Africa
I work mainly in the media of printmaking and sculpture. When making prints my preference is for hard ground etchings, drypoint or relief prints. Sculpturally I work with bronze, glass and various metals, often combining them in a single artwork. I was formerly a Mathematics lecturer at the University of the Witwatersrand for thirty years. Drawing on my expertise in mathematics, I helped to create a popular interest and involvement in mathematics by elucidating the nexus between mathematics and traditional African craft objects, and has been involved in the production of numerous articles, books, TV documentaries, videos and DVDs relating to that topic. I was the mathematician involved in the development of the series Africa meets Africa (www.africameetsafrica.co.za).
