As an Architectural Artist my desire is to capture the
essence of a particular landmark into its pure sculptural
form, especially at this small scale. I fi rst and foremost
do not view my models as literal replicas, but rather my
own artistic interpretations, harnessing the essence of
these landmark’s through the use of LEGO
®
bricks as
a medium. The LEGO brick is not initially thought of as
a material typically used in creating art or used as an
artist’s medium. I quickly discovered the LEGO brick
was lending itself as naturally to my applications as
paint to a painter or metal to a blacksmith. As I explore
how to capture these buildings with the basic shapes
of the bricks, I fi nd the possibilities and challenges
they off er almost magical.
