Sweeney
Gary Sweeney (San Antonio)
Stars and Stripes, 2002
Resin and birch wood
65 x 112 in.
Gary Sweeney describes that his intention doe his
AT&T Center commission “was to make an American
flag out of basketballs. The work consists of a total
of 260 basketballs, each one cast in resin and painted
with high-quality automotive paint. With this project
I’m continuing my theme of Americana, combining
basketballs and patriotism in a light-hearted and boldly
graphic design. Sports events have always been associated
with patriotism; competition in sports is one of America’s
favorite pastimes.”
Sweeney received his BFA at the University of California,
Irvine and currently resides in San Antonio. His sculpture
is widely known for its though-provoking, eccentric
qualities.
