Journal Article
Sandbox Modernism
2021
Overview
Morrissey talks about the child's play. Child's play is fundamentally transformative. A stone becomes bread, sand becomes grain, a stick becomes a knife. A stone becomes a school bus, sand becomes paper, a stick becomes a companionable snake. Scraps of the given world are arranged and made provisionally otherwise. While grown-ups might supply them with specialized toys to encourage their development in suitable ways, children are irresistibly drawn by the detritus generated by building, gardening, housework, tailoring, or carpentry. In waste products they recognize the face that the world of things turns directly and solely to them. To recognize a face in wasted things is to encounter the world as something animate, to sense a hidden animal kinship, a closeness known only to children. They see what the grown-ups see, but they see it aslant.
