“Coddled Child” combines an upside down toy crib, a roof built on its legs, a transparent mattress stuffed with shredded paper currency mounted over the rafters, a floor of scattered keys (from places I have rented, owned, or visited) with an egg coddling set in the center.
It’s the first in my new Insularity series expressing my disdain for parents that shield children from reality with a phony safety net.
