Lego sculptures

With these lego sculptures I’m exploring the creative boundaries of the toy that defined my childhood and which I have been a pleasure to introduce to my own children. In some point of time I got an idea of a lego sculpture that wouldn’t look like lego at all. Something that would recede from the rigid block building and have a living, indeterminate surface. The different forms of lego antennas turned out to make that possible. For the Wave I and Ripple over Mondrian I coded a tool that generates 3D models of lego art works in order to not only iterate artistic design alternatives and get building instructions but also to get a grasp of the amount of the parts needed. One sculpture may contain 5 000–10 000 pieces.
