This is part of my backboard and basketball series. This is part of my collection of broken backboards found in all the alleys of Chicago. There are lots. I am fixing them (sometimes not) and painting them as canvases. A Basketball Jones. I grew up in Chicago playing basketball in the alleys on different garages all around. We had a German Shepard named "Sasha" This is a part of both of those things. "Playing In The Alley"
