I know I’ve mentioned in the past that sometimes when I find toys my children have abandoned around the house, I wonder about the story lines they are creating in their minds. It almost makes me feel like I’m in an art museum sometimes.
Here’s a recent masterpiece of Lydia’s:
Is it a woman drinking the world’s largest bottle of OJ to help her fall asleep? Or is there a deeper meaning here?
Perhaps the artist wants to send a message about the over consumption of western society. Perhaps there is significance to the portrayal of the female figure using a bed as a dining chair. Could it be that this young artist is struggling to define herself as she’s pulled further from her infancy, moved relentlessly on by the changing seasons.
Or… maybe three-year-olds just don’t really care about realism, scale and proper function.
I’ll leave you to ponder…
I think that if the lady is sitting at the dinning room table, she may as well have something to drink or she is having some orange juice while waiting for the rest of her breakfast to be served.
She does look somewhat expectant, doesn’t she?
I think the lady is sick and dehydrated. She fell asleep nostalgically and wistfully thinking of the past when her mother took care of her when she was sick. This sculpture represents her dream of being cared for again in that comforting childhood way.
Ahh… it’s all becoming clear… except that I do still care for the artist in a loving childhood way whenever she’s sick.
