PLAXIS artworks by Johnson-Perkins utilize a combination of PLAY and PRAXIS. Here he incorporates childhood toys, puzzles, and games, which explore abstraction and nostalgia. Through these explorations Johnson-Perkins delves into his own relationship with childlike creativity and invites viewers to do the same.

By using childhood materials in these fun and engaging works, such as: Lego, Mega blocks, Robots, Superheroes Motifs and Football references from the 80’s, Johnson-Perkins wants the viewer to engage with their own creativity and imagination, and to consider the significance of these objects beyond their personal connection and to create a deeper understanding of the cultural and social context of childhood materials and their significance.
