I can see that this would be the case for AFOLs like yourself and me, but I’m
curious why you think non-AFOLs would find Bible illustrations done in LEGO
to be all the more poignant.
|
I say this because its the same reason I attempted a more artistic direction
with lego rather than another medium. The shapes, textures, and colors invoke
immediate feelings in an observer. So this can be used as a spring board to
communicate ideas. For your work, I think you state it best...
| |
So my guess as to the added poignancy comes from the parallel surprise (yes,
sometimes shock) of seeing the very unwholesome parts of The Bible enacted by
these cute little plastic figurines who nobody ever thought would hack each
other to pieces or do anything sexual.
|
One of the things I would like to accomplish is using the immediate bias of the
observer to my advantage. This is an idea I’m developing, so future creations
will see how well its accomplished.
Thanks for the explanation. Not only informative, but inspiring.

| Hi, Felix. (...) That's really nice to hear, thanks.

So first let me (...) (19 years ago, 8-Apr-05, to lugnet.build.ancient, FTX)
