Beautiful Mess by LD. Mixed media. 2012.

It wasn't until naptime that I realized LD's "beautiful mess" was so much more than crayons. It's an art installation. A three-part commentary on the existential plight of man.

The piece in its entirety:



Part One: Pain. Foam roller, free app card for a web clipper, Belle, black play-doh, cat toy, yellow cardstock, crayons, a black race car.






Part Two: The Mystery. Gordon and his tender, a single tricolor candy cane of pipe cleaners, crayons, yellow cardstock. (I'm not sure, but I think this part is unfinished.)



Part the Third: Chaos. Gavin's sock, a pad of mini-sticky notes, a police car, red and green card stock, one green clog, knitting stitch markers (mini hair elastics), a plastic Thomas ring, crayons, many pipe cleaner candy canes in a seemingly random (or is it?) pattern.

Notice the boots near the slider in the first picture. Were they staged also?
