This piece is made from vinyl, steel and Acrylic glass. This refurbished, recycled and reclaimed backboard is the main theme of the new works by Nicholas Conlon. So often in the game of basketball we look to the gods, we look to the heavens, we pray for a good outcome, to stay off of injury and to perform well. Just like that we have the angels looking to heaven for hope and inspiration and to help us in making it to the next level... Heaven and One is a play on words that we will get hurt sometimes but the buckets we shoot will still go in. The moves we make will still succeed. The shots we take are going to hit. Ironic. Idiotic. Iconic. Nicknickers. You will never be the same.
