+ David Levinthal "Toyland" opening reception 6-8 pm @ Leadapron 8445 Melrose Place Los Angeles CA 90069
"I don't think childhood is at all innocent, so why should toys be? It's a period of socialization and conformity. Boys are supposed to grow up to be strong and stalwart men, willing to die for their country, and so on. That period of one's life instills certain values. Playing with toys is innocent only in the sense that most people have passed through that stage. I suppose I never have. .... that toys are not benign objects, but metaphors for culture itself."

The Reader Series (1998-2011) is a photographic exploration of the book as physical form, cultural marker, and visual word poem. My approach to artistic process is conceptual in structure but intuitively based and reflects a personal relationship with the subject that I am photographing.
