Gary Ham's "Some Play in Autumn" PLAYSAM custom for the show at Super7!

The creaking of a tire swing as it rhythmically goes back and forth, the leaves upon the ground in various shades of yellow and orange and brown… all raked into a pile, ready to be pounced upon. If you didn't grow up in the city, then your childhood probably contained some of the above elements. And, obviously, Gary Ham's did; as his "Some Play in Autumn" custom Playsam Streamliner Classic for the upcoming "PLAYSAM 500" group show at Super7 attests. Considering the show is a charity fundraiser for the World Childhood Foundation, I think the theme Ham chose is extremely appropriate and his execution looks great. I'm particularly fond of the miniature tire swing, it's the little touch that helps sell the whole piece.
