Abandoned and discarded objects find new life in a spinning carousel. This piece laments lost childhoods in a time where modern conveniences outweigh endless hours of unsupervised summertime fun in a seemingly post-apocalyptic collapse of life on the prairie. Derelict yes, abandoned dreams, no.
This piece is currently on exhibit in the Arts Longmont Gallery in Colorado for EcoCreations 7, a national juried exhibition.
