I was very taken by Joaquín Torres-García’s toys—his kits or components—and that sense of these lovely, tactile ‘building-blocks’ being arranged and re-arranged. I made my ‘toys’ for The Kick-About No. 122 by making quick moulds out of cardboard boxes and filling them with quick drying filler, then slapping on some colour, and then sanding it all back down again. They make for very satisfying objects—smooth and weighty.
