Earth is one in a fleet of Push Toy Monstrosities: gigantic push toys made from discarded toys lashed together with hand painted cotton rope. The toys, all collected from people’s garbage heaps around the City of Buffalo, are anywhere from forty plus years old to almost new, toys that you may even have in your own backyard. They are engraved with play and dirt, and scribbled with the children’s names who once played with them.
