This charcoal drawing titled “Just do it!” (Nike slogan) is one of three of my year 12 artworks for 2007. The contrasting tone of light and dark areas was inspired by Robert Dickerson. ‘Just do it!’ expresses the struggle of the developing world against transnational corporations from developed nations such as the United States. As it is one of a collection of three works each artwork has a child accompanied by a parent or older sibling from developing nations such as Thailand, Sri Lanka and India. Each child is subtly wearing a Nike wristband made from the factories that create most of the employment in such nations.
