16) 100 Metres Dash, The Legacy, 2011 - 2012

Artist Marilyn Rathbone completed her 100 Metres Dash on 18.4.2012. "It's a dream come true", she said, "I can't quite believe it, I keep thinking I'll wake up tomorrow and find there's still another few metres to go."

The legacy of the 100 Metres Dash is the braid itself together with a 54 page book and DVD that tracks the event from conception to conclusion.
