Childhood Memories With Other Humans

$6,300.00

This installation is the center point of the exhibit entitled BROKEN RIMS & DIRTY DREAMS. This tells the story of life in the alleys and parks and backyard battles that was a daily part of the artist's life while growing up in Chicago in the 80s and 90s. The high point of basketball as a sport. Arguably, The greatest of the great played during this era and that's who taught us today and who a lot of today's stars emulate. It all starts here though. Where we learn to grow up. To compete and to create a self. On the dirty broken backboards of our dreams. Hopefully whatever your dream is, it comes true. Practice, practice, practice. We talking about practice man? YES. Childhood Memories With Other Humans. 

“I feel they’re just like human beings, They are all the same, yet different. They all need love. They all need to be encouraged and lifted up and sometimes cleaned up a little bit, just to feel alive again.”

For everybody that gets the irony, That likes puns and has fun, pokes and prods, jokes and confident nods. Winks and grins, loses and wins. Takes and gives. Twice as hard. Taking a swing to knock it out the yard. Make believes and believes what they made. Valedictorians or barely passed 8th grade. Haute moms and say hi kids. Daddy's little girl, keep on rocking in the free world. Because these times they are a changing. Ironic. Idiotic. Iconic. Nicknickers. You will never be the same.
