Pony Express
PONY EXPRESS presents the historical legacy
of the western United States and celebrates Tucson's status as a global city.
On close examination, viewers will discover that the patterns of color that
traverse the pony are created from thousands of 'little pictures' that once
accompanied messages from around the world. The entire surface of the pony is
covered with cancelled postage stamps, symbolically evoking the important role
that the Pone Express played in American history. These stamps from around the
world also celebrate Tucson as an international border city, an active
participant in the 'global village'. There are approximately 40,000 stamps
that comprise PONY EXPRESS.
