T-4-4 "Tea For Four"
Size: 24" (H) x 30 (L) x 6" (D)
Medium: Acrylic, Pickleballs, Epoxy resin, modeling clay
The association of food, tradition and sports are common. For example, at Wimbledon one has
afternoon tea along with strawberries and cream.
"Tea For Four" (T-4-4) is a 3-D work which celebrates the impact of Pickleball as a social activity by projecting artifacts
on a different social tradition. The "5 o'clock tea time" set (cups, plates, cookies etc) symbolizing how the game may
be used to generate a new "social activity".
Memories of Miami Beach
Size: 24" (H) x 24 (L) x 3" (D)
Medium: Acrylic, Pickleballs on board
A playfull yet thought-provoking commentary on Florida’s beaches, capturing how—when viewed from a distance—they resemble
a mosaic of rounded forms. Using pickleballs as the primary medium, the work reimagine these familiar human forms, reconstructing their essence through sculptural abstraction.
Through this transformation, the work invites viewers to reconsider perception, memory, and the interplay between nature and artistic interpretation, blending whimsical humour with cultural reflection.
PB Court
Size: 24" (H) x 30 (L) x 4" (D)
Medium: Acrylic, Pickleball on canvas
Celebrating the game and community participation. This work is espcially interesting when viewed next to the following work - "War at PB Court"
War at PB Court
Size: 18" (H) x 24 (L) x 3" (D)
Medium: Acrylic, Pickleballs
This work envisions the devastating impact of war on a pickleball court and its surrounding community, transforming a space of play, movement, and connection into a reflection on destruction and resilience. Superimposing the scars of conflict onto the court—first depicted in PB Court—this piece serves as a stark juxtaposition between the joy of sport and the weight of violence.
Created in the fall of 2023, this work was deeply influenced by the Hamas terror attack on peaceful Israeli communities along the border. The shattered remains of the court echo the trauma experienced by those caught in the conflict, urging viewers to contemplate the fragility of stability and the enduring strength of those who rebuild.
More than a commentary, this piece is a meditation on loss, survival, and the urgent need for peace. It challenges us to consider the spaces we take for granted—the places where we gather, compete, and forge connections—and how war threatens to erase them.
