Zack Bornstein - Material Alchemy



Nathan Sawaya is an incredible artist who takes legos and makes creative, not just realistic, sculptures from them. I am always impressed by artists that can take items and materials considered "childish" and use them in mature creative ways. A brilliant crayon artist would be incredible, for example. Using legos and other children's building materials has been a fun and creative subject for many people. There are huge displays and vast other sculptures possible from legos (think Lego Land), but at the heart of all of this creativity, these pieces are built from individual pieces one at a time, like building a sand castle one grain of sand at a time.
