RUINS OF CHILDHOOD
As a kid in the 20th Century, Tim’s best friends were a holographic pop star, one cybernetic Sith Lord and that big red truck who was also a robot. They were the pop stars that plastered his walls, propped up his book shelf and populated his over-populated toy bin. They were also just capitalistic avatars of a Regan-era childhood. So why, decades later, is he still holding on to all that plastic?
RUINS OF CHILDHOOD is his attempt to analyze what these things really meant to his youth and how their impact helped, hindered and otherwise heralded the adult he is struggling to be in this Century.
