Artist Statument

this has been quite confused though out my project. but this is what i think i have ended up with

Robert Adams describes it he says Beauty is "Form" and i entend to show Form with in my images i want to in the littural scene by having lots of lines witch make this form and also in the seance that the lines do refure to rules with in a game tennis and therefore shows Form with in the games. This project has been informed by my dissertation wich is looking at the photographic group the New Topographic and the work of contempory British photographer i feel that Jem Southam has had a large infolounce into this project not nessuraly in the way i approce my subject but in the ideas behind his project seem quite relevance. Robert Adams and Lewis Baltz have allso played a large involance to the work with Adams theory behind his work and the way Baltz approces the subject. Dead Pan has been brought up thoughtout this project a number of times and i feel now my images have a Dead Pan feel to the work and the way i approced the subject.
I have aimed to keep the series cohesive by shooting on overcast days to try and keep the sky and the lighting very simular also using the same camare and having it all shot from the same hight on the trypod. i think these are all important for making the sereis fit together.
This work is aimed at the high art market even thought this project is not finshed yet as it is going to become a part of a much larger project and a bodie of work, i entend for it to be work that is exhidited and hopefully put together a book from this project. I also entend to entre some compertions with this project, The Northen Desgin compertion seems the most relevent.
