The Game of Life

  Ed Kashi

These collages express my relationship to baseball, my son, my immigrant family, and the murky memories of a first-generation American’s childhood. It’s also an exercise in something I cherish about the creative process, collaboration. The materials used all are commonly used by baseball players and include pine tar, chalk, beard oil, sunflower seeds, body butter, shaving cream, vaseline, chalk, eye black, spider tack, bubblegum, and gripping spray.
