This piece was a 2013 Sculpture Walk entry. It was purchased by the City of Sioux Falls for placement at the new Denny Sanford PREMIER Center June 2014. The piece depicts a young boy, airborne, about to complete a slam-dunk. The figure is grabbing onto the rim of a basketball net with his proper left hand while supporting a basketball in his proper right hand. The piece is made of mild steel, both stock items (such as the pole and its base) as well as the sculptured elements of the figure and the net. The surface of the metal does not appear to have been primed. There also appears to be two different paint coatings; the base layer is a metallic silver paint with black paint applied over top and then removed through abrasive means to give the piece a brushed metal and distressed look, which accentuates the details throughout the composition. It is unknown whether or not there is a protective clear coating throughout the piece. The sculpture has been bolted to a Sioux Quartzite base, approximately 1’ H, that has a flat top and bottom and rough-hewn sides. The top is smooth, but not polished. The flat base of the net/sculpture is secured to the stone with six hex bolts with rounded tops that require removal with a ratchet wrench. They are presumably threaded stainless steel with stainless steel, zinc, or aluminum washers and secured with epoxy. There does not appear to be any barrier between the painted metal base and the stone. There is an engraved, Sioux Quartzite plaque mounted in a stainless steel bracket at the northeast corner of the base.
