Description: Constructive Abandonment "is a series of small paintings featuring surreal vignettes with animals and children weighed down by the pressures of life. With absurdly comedic interactions, the text varies from straightforward to even more abstract and nonsensical than the images that it accompanies. The paintings reference child's play or literature and some are seemingly without reference, completely untethered.
