Location: 5:15 1800', Open Playa
As you walk from the city deep into the playa objects slowly come into view, rising from the desert. Lost. Incomplete. A series of giant children's toys… the closer you get, the smaller you feel. Everything looms large, as if you were shrinking. Or they are growing.
As you near, the worn, weathered features and faded primary colors become clear.
While calling to the sepia-toned memory of and a return to child-like play, One Tin Soldier is a statement about the evolution of play from both toys of love, and educational to toys of war.
How will we feel climbing a giant soldier on horseback, painted in primary colors, after visiting the blocks inviting us to LOVE?
Curiouser and Curiouser… we become small, we go down the rabbit hole. Where will we end up?
