Note to “Tennis Trails” (from Apeksha’s website): My collection of 6 AI generated paintings of tennis courts examines the unique landscape and environment in which this sport can be played. From fresh greens to rough deserts, these digitally created scenes push the boundaries of what we traditionally associate with the tennis court.
Trail 1: At the beginning there was water. Tennis court ai lower than a turtle that paddles without seems to move. The perfect day for tennis, the perfect day to watch the greatest rivalry/friendship in all sports: Chris Evert and Martin Navratilov. They played a record 80 times on the tour. They both have cancer now. I imagine them here in their Ted Tinling, as white, as untouched, like clouds.
Trail II: We paid 200 extra pesos to see the jungle in the Mayan ruins in Palenque. We walked in the mud, ate termites. We saw hidden cities, the smallest skulls. In the tennis jungle AI AIP, the sun court attracts us forward as in those 19th-American images that hindered so much to the west to their apparent fate. (In his book about American art, Robert Hughes calls our great myth of redemptive violence.) _ We civilized this jungle, a place for our games. Networks capture animals, balls, viewers. I imagine that Serena plays tennis here, because I always imagine that Serena plays tennis. What would she wear in such a yard? Her black shoes on her knee high boots, her pink dress leopard, her catsuit?
Trail in: Two women are approaching this carefully trimmed court, where nature is controlled by man’s desires: Suzanne Lenglen and Helen Wills. Once they played the match of the century. I whispered Lenglen’s whisper: “Too tight, too tight.” “You need more breathing space.” Under that, everything is the worst. Bodices and corsets for the retention of body parts, conformity limitations. Lenglen free us with her looser clothes that revealed more meat. She lasted controversy, gave us room for breathing.
