  Feel the Dink

  Acrylic and Found Objects on Cradled Birch Panel by Matthew Scott Barker (36in. x 24in. x 10in.)

  "Feel the Dink Acrylic and found objects (pickleball paddles, pickleballs, wire mesh) on cradled birch panel, 36 × 24 in. In pickleball, the dink is the game's quietest shot: a soft touch that drops just over the net. It wins through control rather than power. Feel the Dink turns that moment into something you can hold. An acrylic court sets the stage, and a wire-mesh "iron curtain" stands in for the net. Two halved pickleballs are frozen mid-rally, just struck by a bright red paddle. A second red paddle hangs from a swivel hook, and a ball dangles on a string, waiting for you. Trace the holes in the balls, run your fingers along the net, and take a swing. This piece isn't only meant to be seen. It's meant to be played. — Matthew Scott Barker"
