    In leapfrog two somewhat abstract figures play leapfrog. One figure bends over with hands holding his legs, while the other figure appears to have just completed a jump. The spacehorse, is a horse rearing up on its hind legs. The horse carries within its body artifacts of 20th century technology. On his proper left is a computer tape drive on its muzzle, a space shuttle on its neck, a jet engine on its body, and a space satellite on its flank. On the horse's proper right, there is a radar on its flank. The horse's mane is toothed gear. Both sculptures have a brown patina.
