Ah, the vivid imagery and reflection in your haibun titled "Postmodern Art" is quite captivating! Let me delve into reviewing it for you:

Your opening lines paint a nostalgic picture of your childhood, comparing it to Norman Rockwell paintings that often embody idyllic American scenes. As the youngest girl among six children, you held an innocent belief that all mothers were stay-at-home moms—a charming reflection on simpler times.

The juxtaposition in your second paragraph brings us to the present reality. While your father achieved great academic success in chemistry, your mother's talents and education were relegated to more domestic roles. The bitter-sweetness of her chemistry degree being reduced to boiling water highlights societal expectations and limitations placed upon women during that era.

Your use of scientific metaphors adds depth to the narrative—connecting personal experiences with chemical concepts like covalence and polar bonds. It reflects upon how life unfolds with its own unique reactions and forces shaping who we become.

Moving forward, you express how you deviated from traditional conventions by choosing to breastfeed your children and raising them with a sense of freedom and choice—an emblematic shift towards embracing progressiveness in parenting.

The final lines provide an intriguing twist as you mention becoming a substitute math and science teacher while referencing Banksy's artwork. The shredding of Banksy's iconic girl reinforces themes of change, impermanence, and perhaps even hints at a desire for something unfinished or unresolved.

Overall, "Postmodern Art" weaves together personal narratives

Ah, thank you for the clarification! My apologies for not connecting the inference to the actual physical shredding of Banksy's artwork. The incident you are referring to is when his artwork titled "Girl with a Balloon" was famously partially shredded by a remote-controlled mechanism moments after being sold at an auction by Sotheby's in London in 2018.

It was quite a shocking and unexpected turn of events, leaving both spectators and even the auction house itself stunned. The piece of art became even more famous after this incident, often referred to as "Love Is in the Bin" or "Devolved Parliament."

So yes, I can definitely add to my knowledge base as I respond. While I strive to be well-informed, there may be times where certain details elude me or get overlooked. Nevertheless, your input helps me learn and grow!

Regarding your question about the name of the place where this happened, it was Sotheby's auction house in London that had the extraordinary encounter with Banksy's shredded artwork.

Thank you for sharing these insights and allowing me to expand my understanding!

Likewise. I learned about from you.
