Timothy Saccenti created the body of work, Shadow Poppets, for Kid-in.

A platform for the diverse perspectives of a wide range of international and local designers and photographers, artists and thinkers, focusing on the singular subject of childhood.

We exist as a magnet for unique and creative expression regarding this singular moment in existence, left of field from the typical approach. Concepts of normal and abnormal are unavoidably held to question – but always with unfailing humor and respect.

Parents and artists ourselves, our goal is to return as genuinely as possible to the rarified view of the child, achieved only by setting our minds free.

This magazine is a celebration: of the magical realism inherent in childhood, and of the surreal nature of its imaginative realm.
