Saturday morning. The child and I make our way down to the Puyallup Farmer's Market to get some fresh air, move our restless legs, visit the library, and play on the "big toys." Once there, we discover a "UNIQUE, FREE art event" "open to artists of all ages!" The child went and obtained a cup filled with sticks of chalk, selected a "panel" of sidewalk, and started to color.
The child drew an oval. The child scribbled within it. The child stopped and deliberated. The child changed color of chalk. The child crawled and sprawled and squatted and stood and sat.
The child created and controlled.
"Coconuts" by The Child, 2007—sidewalk canvas, chalk, sidewalk chalk.
