Hi, my name is Margaret Hurst, and I’m one of the eight artists of Studio 1482.  Yesterday I spent the day with the skaters in Central Park.  It was a beautiful day, sunny with blue skies.  The skaters were in their usual high spirits and high energy.  This particular skater with the helmet is new to the group and he was in rare form.  He was up, down, over, under, in, out, kicking, moving, dropping, bouncing – you name it, he was doing it!  Ultimately, he pretzelized himself!  Amazing dexterity!
