Impression: Sports is a collection of 11 different iconic sports moments found throughout history, made from my own inked fingerprint. I worked on this project solely in airports and hotels as a solution to creating art while dealing with a hectic travel schedule. The athlete's depicted are substantially out of focus, pixelated and despite the sparseness on the paper, remain completely identifiable. By capturing the most significant and celebrated sports figures in the throes of their victory I call to mind how deep-rooted these moments are for so many. The graininess of my inked fingerprint reminded me of watching an old black and white television, and that feeling of nostalgia was the inspiration that runs through each of the subjects that I have portrayed in this series.
