Last weekend my husband and I went for a run around Quidi
Vidi Lake. What a jolt we got when, instead of running straight along the
path, we took the little side trail down from the boat house. The scene that
greeted us was so shocking; it took a few minutes to absorb it all. Toys that
had been dismantled and rebuilt in different configurations hung from trees and
crawled along railings making Sid’s Toy Story experiments look tame. Each
exhibit had a poem attached – inside a drawer in a doll’s chest or scrawled on
a broken mirror in a unicorn’s mouth. Thankfully a poster on a tree explained
the purpose of the exhibit - deconstructing the past in order to come to a better understanding of the present. Had we not taken that side trail we would have
missed the whole thing. I have included pictures as a preview. You only have ‘til
December 8, 2015 to take it all in.
