Little children run amok in Amanda M. Smith's series of exquisitely rendered ceramic reliefs. Set in a vivid world of flattened, skewed architecture, Candy Garden and Sparkling Sabers follows Smith's moody tots as they cavort in the bushes, wreak havoc upon a tree-dwelling community, and try to get a little more familiar with a kangaroo. The scenes — etched and painted onto clay slabs, surrounded by decorative floral motifs — recall the epic, whimsical mischief of Henry Darger's Vivian Girls, as described through medieval tableaux.
