Playful Again is a whimsical piece featuring the pure, excessive, alluring world of pure play. Inside are the rotating cast figures on an ever-spinning trapeze. In front of the piece will be a playground with a geodesic dome, and tables with Ouiji boards and various objects for play. In front will also be casts of humanimals. These are human casts that are combined with animal features that line up with the Animalia theme. This provides an exhilarating spectacle of the human world plus animal world. It alludes to fantasy, mythmaking, and of course, magic. Playfulness at its core, is the business of selling dreams, one morsel at a time.
