My Childhood Toy Truck

2021 - 55 x 21 x 18cm
​Knitting, Metal, Mohair

An idea that we adults are like children inside, that we always want to be like children subconsciously, that we play a game called life, and we recall our childhood, brightly and with a nostalgia, inspired me to create that work. I decided with that creating process to become again that child and to play with sand on the beach, just with my adult and the artist experience. Year 1984, I am 4 years old girl plying with that toy car on a beach sands. I remember the game "Shop" when I used to put fruits, vegetables, sand, stones in the trunk of this truck and take them to my childhood friends. To preserve the details that had faded over time, I restored them by sewing. It's like a restoration, it's a desire to pass this story on to your children from generation to generation. Perhaps my sons Bernard and Christopher will restore, with their experience, their life history, skills, and professions. Post-apocalyptic themes are popular now, and this work can be attributed to it, only with the addition of a bright future. Old rusty toy, and its missing parts, knitted and restored, in natural nature colours. Present moment, here and now.
