Reflection of a City Dwelling Musician, 1990
Commissioned for "The Beauty In Breathing" exhibition. Horndeski paints a bold colored, central image and surrounds it with a black wooden frame onto which he writes a narrative in white paint. The entire frame is utilized for text including mirror writing on the top and bottom. In this work, a boy is playing classical music with a French horn but around him nature is polluted by black smoke from industry. The narrative relates to music and lung anatomy. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
[Season's Best] / Horndeski, Gregory., 1999
The painted drawing expressing "Happy 2000" on an abstract blue background is collaged to the inside cover of the commercial Hallmark card. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
Working Day and Night, 1989
This work shows a balcony with books, very much like the Sackner Archive. The artist confirmed that he had no idea of this when he did the work. In the bottom center, a child is seated at a round table. Through two large windows are a day time and a night time scene. The frame is covered with dense hand-lettered text on topology. The top and bottom edges are written backwards and can be read with a small mirror provided by the artist. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
