Track and Field
  Track and Field: Drawing from the Arena, 2005  
 
 

Diptych: 30" x 90", five exposures

Whether you are at play or in competition, an athlete or spectator, running solo or on a team the Sports Arena is a space specifically constructed to promote the human heart to beat faster. It is architecturally designed to be conducive to broad movements and deep breathing. The series is a photographic expedition into the euphoria of the space itself as if it had a lasting beat of its own. Considering my 35mm camera as a drawing device by taking precise multiple exposures on single negatives, I went to the arena with the idea to render an architecture of deep focus, endurance and the quintessence of cadence (the
concentrated essence of an athletes rhythm).
