The Narrative of the piece that I am currently working on has a dichotomy like the cartoon characters, and paintings in The Darker Side of Playland. The architectural form is at a miniature scale with images of animals incorporated. It looks child like, and inviting. However at a closer look, you realize that the animals on the clock form are all extinct. The other animals are in a viewing cage, and are endangered in going extinct. The narrative of this piece highlights a dark side of man, and his impact on animals. It make me think of a quote in The Darker Side of Playland, “The works in this exhibition present the complexities of a child’s experiences in the world created for them by adults.”
