“‘Toybox’ deconstructs the search for new meaning in a culture that is based as much on the imagination of its participants as on the physical realities these human concepts are played against. The toy based childhood imagination aesthetic of the work allows for a playful new look at a society in the throes of reinventing itself.”\u00a0<\/em><\/div>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The\u00a0images in “Delusionville” feel like the fruits\u00a0of a satirical savant, lifted off a G Pen\u00a0hit\u00a0and nose deep in a Noam Chomsky book, upending a childhood universe by blending classic cartoons with monsters out of a Guillermo Del Torro film.\u00a0<\/p>\n
