Prototypes & Concepts
While I attempt to breathe life into all my projects, some are still in their conceptual phases or are less capable of being built without sponsorship (such as a 6’ long architectural model.) I hope to turn these into real designs in the future, while recognizing the limitations of the present.
Existing currently as more concept than finished design, this is my personal rendition of the New York’s Dock72 building; even though this is not much more than a shell, the model already contains more than 20,000 pieces.

“The Block Chain”
What if digital block chains, ethereal and written in code, could be made real?
“The Block Chain” is an imagined answer to that question. The piece is built using a series of cubic LEGO ‘blocks’, and the sides are capable of being wall-mounted with a slight gap to place micro-LEDs, allowing the translucent pieces in the build to give off a classic, command-line green glow.
Self-Portrait
In an effort to better understand my relationship with my work, I attempted a “self-portrait” of my face designed with LEGO bricks. The pupils feature miniature Birds of Paradise plants, capturing my lifelong admiration for the plants & birds of the same name.
Lenticular Designs
Always seeking new ways to understand how LEGO and art may intersect, I have dove into the creation of Lenticular art designs; these allow for overlapping images to appear to users only at certain angles, and I wish to one day create one that is meaningful, depending on the space it is built within.
