The year was "1953", suburbia was sprawling, and baseball fields were shrinking to back yards, and balls were slowly evolving "wiffles" . . .
The year was 200 - or rather two hundred years since Earth collided with another planetary body, blowing it to smithereens (which would eventually become the moon), and then began it's re-coagulation into the orb we all call home. Fireworks were millions of years in the future but I thought it would be nice to commemorate the "Bicentennial" of this collection of rock, molten rock, rock ice, and bits of water. Why Legos? Well, it was just a planetary toddler: innocent, but constructive in it's own growth.
Side note: we got our window vinyl! Designed as a wacky grid by Owen Sherwood and myself, and photographed by Caroline Corrigan, Education + Exhibitions Manager up at the Art Center. Thanks, Caroline!

scarifying out of body experience. I could only stand so much good feeling in one night. So I bought two pieces, Captain boatshot or something and a companion frame, thinking this would deaden the pain.
And Ms Corrigan, sheesh, so helpful...so handsome...I had to leave.
