"Untitled" by Alla Crocodile, Basel, 2011, |
"I was kind of thinking maybe I might like to try my hand at art. Oh never mind!" Just throw your hands up and realize that Resistance is Futile. One day you wake up, and all your friends are doing some kind of art or creative job and you have to jump in too, even the children rope you in there. I have tried to get Alla and Kazam to clean up their messes, but the "messes" just keep getting more creative. When Alla was 12 months old it started with spaghetti sauce in circles on the wall next to her high chair and has continued till I realized last night that Alla had a roll of masking tape in her hand and was taping a paper towel to the bars on the balcony. Once she finished she stepped back form her work and declared, "Mommy, you are not allowed to clean this up, you have to watch it blow in the wind." The tone of her voice was the thing that brought me back to the here and now and I was able to respond, "Oh! How perfect. It's almost Art Basel."
Yours,
From the balcony,
Mrs Crocodile
