Some of these experiences that I've had with basketball have allowed me to gain a new perspective.
One day, I decided to cut up some shoelaces
and put them on a canvas.
I wasn't totally satisfied with it just yet, but I knew that I had something significant there.
Using this as my medium has allowed me to communicate my identity through my pieces.
One of the signatures that's constantly through my work is using pieces of equipment that are a part of my personal journey as an athlete.
For example, sometimes that's cut-up basketballs from a past Globetrotter game.
Other times, that's tennis rackets from my childhood.
And sometimes it's just shoelaces that I wore when I was doing something important.
Play has given me the flexibility but also the vision to see these materials as something more than just what we use on the court or on the field.
All of these items, they have stories behind them, they have connections to the people that use them.
Whether it's the tennis ball that bounced several thousand times to bring people together, or it's the spinning basketball ... that brought smiles to so many people's faces around the world.
Or if it's shoelaces that I wore on a bad day, but I knew that I needed to keep moving.
Play is what brings all of these things together, figuratively and physically.
The world's brightest thinkers, engineers of evolution, they all play too much.
Seriously.
Thank you.
