“What is a Toy? If you ask graffiti artists, they will tell you that a Toy is someone who lacks style, rules, or technical skills. It’s a strong accusation. As for gender, a Toy is a person who happily flies with tools, where all sizes, colors, shapes, and materials are possible. And for most people, a toy is a memory of childhood, a symbol of comfort, solace, and companionship… I have always been interested in the definition of ‘Toy’ and its relationship with people.”

“Toys, oh toys, how multifaceted you are! What defines a toy? In the eyes of a graffiti artist, a toy symbolizes an absence of style, a lack of comprehension of the sacred rules—an epithet hurled at neophytes yet to grasp the essence. Sensually, a toy becomes a conduit for pleasure, manifesting in myriad sizes, hues, contours, and materials. To the masses, a toy assumes the form of a diminutive, endearing creature gifted during the tender years of youth—a solace, a confidant in the nocturnal solitude of one’s bedchamber. My fascination with toys and the human connection to them has remained steadfast throughout my existence.” – Joshua Gordon, excerpt from “TOY”
