"Destroy, Relocate, Rebuild" My husband and I moved five times in seven years, twice cross-country, thrice with children. At first, it was fun to be in a new place. Later, it was disruptive, expensive, and stressful. Routines became fragile, causing mundane things to take great effort. As we dismantled our lives, packed ourselves into boxes, and rebuilt anew it reminded me of my young son, and time honored toys like blocks and train tracks; toys for destruction and rebirth. I created this mixed media piece from a box from our last move. It includes game pieces that mount on the tracks with velcro, and letterpressed playing cards.
