This was an early assemblage I created in 2012 for my first gallery show "Lost & Found" curated by Matt McKinley at @arcgallerysf. In it the child figure is racing the ripples of time with one leg extended towards life and one arm reaching back to the afterlife. The snowflake's eye opens and closes when spun around on its pivot and the hurdy gurdy music box in the lower right corner plays "A Few of My Favorite Things" when its crank is turned. I wish I had a video of all these interactive aspects in action but ten years ago I did not consider that IG would pay favor to Reels. Ce la Vie.
