“Pain and pleasure, sex and procreation, dissolution and
death all appear in the Arena photographs — not as opposites,
but as a continuum…. the Arena images obscure reality and
force viewers to confront what they think they know and to
reimagine the world…. While one can find art historical
precedents of his Arena series in Bosch, Velazquez, and
Goya, Mr Rodick’s spiritual forebears are equally Werner
Heisenberg and Franz Kafka.” (Stephen Perloff, editor, The
Photo Review)
