- Artist Statement
- Hi, my name is Joey Held, I'm a student at Pickerington Central High School. I'm a multiple sport athlete, sports to me are an art form in them selves. They allow people of all kinds to channel emotion. In a way how you play your sport is an expression of yourself. For me sports bring all kinds of emotion. When I step on a baseball field I never know whats going to happen. Sometimes i may strike out, other times I may walk, i could get a hit or i could ground out. Every time i get out i feel this rush of anger and disappointment my self. This anger then turns into focus and i use this extra boost either at my next at bat or during a play in the field. I also love to capture pictures of myself or others playing sports. The vibe i get from the energy and emotion in sports sends a chill up my spine. Art is defined as the expression or application of human creative skill and imagination. All sports require human skill and imagination.
