 After sitting at the end of a long hallway in the Hamburg Kunst Museum, I imagined what would happen if some of my favorite art pieces would come alive and what they would do.  This piece tells the daydream I had of Banky’s “Flower Bomber” throwing Magritte's apple at “Son of Man” after the museum had closed.  “Flower Bomber” missed and hit Hirst’s “The Physical Impossibility of Death in the Mind of Someone Living” cracking it and releasing Hokusai’s “The Great Wave off Kanagawa”.  Which floods the museum and Dali’s “Ship with Butterfly Sails” floats to the top.  This piece explores a childlike imagination and wonders while encourages having fun and daydreaming.  On the door to the museum is a lion doorknob from the book "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe" which opens the door to the museum-like a children's book.  The characters in this piece move as if they were in a Pop-Up book, which again plays in the realm of childhood and fun.  This piece celebrates repeating themes and elements in my art like surprise, fun, and interaction.
