Oh! So … fun? These powerful pieces are from a series titled “Little Terrors” by Arizona based artist Nathaniel Lewis… and yes, I felt slightly nauseous when I saw them. Amazing that rainbow-hued wooden “toys” can cause such a reaction. Here’s to doing everything we can to ensure that playtime for our children – and our children’s children, and everyone else’s children – involves playing with wooden kitchen sets instead of primary-colored security checkpoints. Shudder.
Hi Danielle, I just “discovered” your podcast and blog a few months ago. Wow. I’m so impressed! you have such a great way of connecting with your new artist friends 🙂 I think that Nathaniel Lewis could be an interesting interview if he actually makes this art as a social commentary. If not, then don’t go near him!!! ps are you coming to Ottawa anytime for your book promotion? Would love to be there – and will definately buy your book.
What jaw dropping work. I love it as well as feel uncomfortable about it at the same time.
Thanks Nathaniel Lewis. Thought provoking, alarming, intelligent pieces that keep a child’s perspective in our consciousness.
