The same LEGO interlocking brick system has been in millions of people’s hands across seventy years, but it continues to surprise — continues to reward the builder who looks at a familiar piece and asks, but what if I used it like this?
In this issue, you’ll meet five builders with five completely different practices.
For M’BricK, the brick is three-dimensional paint — texture and color applied like brushstrokes. For Jeff Sanders, it’s a geometric instrument — bent past what the grid intends. For Eunice Chiong, bricks become printing blocks, pressed into ink, leaving their mark on paper. For Leo Chan, they’re a thinking tool — put a brick in someone’s hand and watch them build something true about themselves that words alone couldn’t reach. And for Luke Doell, they’re stone — Gothic arches, cascading waterfalls, and soaring castles.
The creative exploration continues. After all this time, there is still so much left to find with these little plastic bricks.
Let’s keep looking,
