Ah, summer. That time of year when you can relish the craziest, corniest of adventures. Like finally hitting up that kitschy old-timey amusement park or road tripping to see the world’s largest ball of twine. In her work, Australian artist Maz Dixon explores the dichotomy of our expectations of destinations versus our experience.
While making our way from Florida to Washington three years ago, Mr. Forager and I took the time to stop at a couple of crazy touristy spots. We were really disappointed when Prairie Dog Town was closed! Ha. Dixon’s work makes me think more of those spots we visited as children, the ones that were so magical and fascinating.. How often, when we go back as adults, have they lost their luster?
