Rocket, 2009. Assemblage.
by Hudson King
This latest installation in the Museum of Artistic Toddlers (MoAT) utilizes the mundane commercial toys found in a single urban living room. Each piece symbolizes the artist's interpretation of life from a 36-inch vantage point. The monolithic scooter serves as the focal point, capturing adolescent mobility juxtaposed with toddler stability. The side-stepped running shoe that intersects with the scooter symbolizes the artist's desire for control. Rules. Guidance. However, this contradicts with the "paternal pedal of punk" that gives fuel to the fire to break all bounds while each miniature automobile simultaneously signals a different path the artist could follow. His choices are so meaningful, yet so small.
On display for a limited time only in the main gallery. Scratch that. The installation had to removed from the gallery before bedtime.
