“When people go to museums and see a sculpture made out of marble, they appreciate it but it's very doubtful that they will go home and have a slab of marble they can chip away at, but people do have LEGO. I don't have any LEGO specially made for me, all of the shapes, sizes and colours I use are available in stores so that if someone is inspired to create on their own, they can go and buy the very same bricks.” PeopleIfsMadeUseHomeShapesAppreciateInspiredSizeAvailableStoresColourMuseumsSculptureBricksChipsMarbleDoubtfulLegosSlabs Author:Nathan Sawaya
“I'm trying to inspire as many people as I can. I want the viewer to enjoy the art and I want the whole family to have something to react to. I hope that folks go home and do a bit of doodling and creating on their own.” PeopleWantTryingArtI CanWholeHomeBitsEnjoyInspireCreatingFolksViewersWhole FamilyDoodling Author:Nathan Sawaya
“’The Art of the Brick’ exhibition is accessible because it engages the child in all of us while simultaneously illuminating sophisticated and complex concepts. Everyone can relate to the medium since it is a toy that many children have at home. But my goal with this exhibition when it first debuted in 2007 was to elevate this simple plaything to a place it has never been before.” FirstsChildrenArtHomeGoalSimpleConceptsComplexesMediumsRelateToysSophisticatedBricksExhibitionsIlluminating Author:Nathan Sawaya
