Artist Statement

Created using a cinematograph, Free Skating Field Combination is one of many figure skating instructional diagrams included in the 1921 book Skating with Bror Meyer.

Using motion picture images nestled in mountainous winter landscapes, numbered steps, and concise explanations, Meyer’s diagrams are as optically delightful as they are didactic.
