In this exhibition, Abby Schmidt explores the fantasy of playtime, coupled with the uncomfortable nature of social situation.

Schmidt creates mixed media works using toys, found objects, and melted crayons, reminiscent of her own childhood experiences, to illustrate global challenges of preserving youth in areas plagued by devastation.

The artist will be donating 50% of her proceeds to the World Food Programme.
