The recreation consists of work that pays homage to the sweaty world of organized adult recreational sports. Artists Sarah Powers and Rachel Herrick collaborated to explore the idiosyncrasies of play and competition and the general absurdity of grown-ups playing sports. They tapped into the hyper-graphic style and color combinations associated with professional sports to create their works, repurposing actual equipment for some pieces. The ridiculous rule-orientedness of sports construction is illustrated through repetitive, linear imagery.
