The LEGO
cloud sculptures have now arrived at etsy for $20 plus $8 shipping. (my etsy storefront)
Artist Statement:
LEGO pieces and clouds are opposites by their form. LEGO pieces are plastic, rigid, geometrically modular standardized units mass produced by man. Clouds are biomorphic, fluid, randomly shaped forms of water and ice produced by nature.
However, what makes these extremes similar is their symbolic meaning. LEGO and clouds represent the creative dreams and aspirations of children of all ages.
Each LEGO cloud sculpture in the series is titled after the word, “cloud” in a foreign language. This evokes the notion that LEGO is a universal toy and clouds are universal elements.
The great thing about etsy is that they allow 5 photos for each item. When looking at “Wolke” on etsy, be sure to look at the other photographs.
As of the publishing of this blog post, there is only one LEGO cloud (“Wolke”) on etsy. There will be two more on etsy shortly.
