"My art explores the overlap and interrelation between child play, adult play, desire and sensuality. Many of our toys were handed down from generation to generation. I strive to capture the appeal of those toys—Lincoln Logs, Legos and wooden blocks—that endured time and generations. In some way, my art is my play, and when I work, it is joyful and fun. At the same time, references to adult play intentionally inform the work. The adult audience is able to enjoy the work for its quality of design, suggested interactivity and references to sensuality." - Raymond González
