When working consumes most of our lives and even our free time isn’t free from the pressure of being rationalised and directed towards some goal, play can act as a step against this need to always be productive and efficient. A reaction against the instrumentalised, deterministic thinking championed by postmodern culture. Either a reminiscence of human traces and anatomy or ruins of a world yet to come, these objects await in anticipation of being touched, stacked up or laid down. With their symmetry, they contain this almost Rorschach test-like quality of being able to project innumerous layers of meaning. Perfectly poised between our world and another, these totemic figures have arrived to help us confront ourselves and the junk of our past and present.
