Running Track

ARTIST STATEMENT

This is a photograph from my series entitled The Games We Play. The project, comprising images created in places where sports are played, was started in 2005.

Despite technological developments within the leisure industry, traditional athletic and team games remain the principal ways for groups to compete. Cities are still transformed today by an event with its roots in Ancient Greece, and being “on the team” is still seen as “cool” at school.

The photographs are shot with a view camera. The prints are digitally produced from scanned negatives. However, production from start to finish involves no manipulation or lighting, providing a straightforward record of place.

The series has been internationally exhibited, and debuted at Jen Bekman Gallery in 2005.

How to Frame Your Art

All of our prints have a minimum border of .25 inches to allow for framing. We do not alter the aspect ratio, crop or resize the artists' originals—quoted dimensions are for the size of paper containing the image, not the printed image itself. For exact image sizes and more helpful info, view our framing guides:
