The Long Pause is a 30" × 30" × 2.5" hand-carved artwork created from 15 vintage vinyl records and other found objects. It depicts a cowboy resting beside his horse, capturing a quiet moment of reflection on the open trail. Each record was chosen for its connection to the Western theme, from country ballads to folk songs. The layered black and white cutouts contrast with the colorful record labels to evoke depth and nostalgia. This one-of-a-kind piece is framed, boxed, and ready to hang.
