Box of Time: From Bones to Barbie

Clotheslines, market umbrellas, and other open structures, are each covered and dripping with bones. Included are bone-like cultural objects, plant skeletons, and bones and shells of land and water animals. Baby doll and Barbie doll parts, both large and small, are mixed in with the bones. On the structures the bones and dolls sway and clatter in the breeze, on the ground a boney croquet game is available to play. Life is constantly shifting, giving us surprising contrasts. Animal bones and plant bones are artifacts of life once lived, now decaying. Various parts of dolls - the human distortions of evolution - are the undecaying projections of lives never lived. All are bound together in the paradox of things which once held life but are now dead, and something always dead but attempting to represent life.
