Dready art ‘you’re as tall as you think you are’ – original commission – 30×30 as part of a triptych
i was to do art for 3 board rooms, on the themes of sports, environment and education …
this was the drawing that not only started the sports series for the commission but laid the ground for the idea of all the others that would follow …
the humour, the male and female, the adult and child, the animals, the hidden bees, the hidden meanings …
this one is about the fierceness of a girl believing in herself …
and basketball is big in cayman lots of leagues, lots of courts, the filipinos love it … was big in belize (and all of latin america) when I was growing up too; go figure eh, a short man’s country and a tall man’s sport, but still big and so – you’re as tall as you think you are.
