Toyland. June 2021
Is part of the Rocket Bear and Wedge Series, see the category of the same name for details. This is one of the pairs adventures. In this instance they are dropping in from the top into Toyland. There was some intentionality for this piece. It was an experiment. I often put in small pipes that interact to form complex evolving grid like structures in my work. In fact, there are three of them in this piece, left, right and below (set out in a triangle). What is new here is I wanted to place the smaller grids within a much larger grid. The larger scaled grid is at the center made up of its red lines. That was as far as the intention went to work the scale of grids. The rest is evolving design and discovery. In that discovery was something for both boys and girls in Toyland. There are parachuting ballerinas, and starships abundant. There are also surfing dogs, and hexagons at play. It is meant to be whimsical and to invoke play, indeed play within a Toyland. Hopefully too it invokes some mystery with its multi-dimensionality. The composition goes off the frame in multiple directions and the whole tableau is seemingly exploding from the center – ever expanding – like our universe.
