“These large-scale sculptural icons are inspired by children’s building blocks. The works point reference to the history of blocks as groundbreaking educational tools that foster and challenge the creativity in all of us. These shapes resonate with both children and adults, encouraging joy, play, and creativity. I’ve created many of my own shapes referencing, art history, fashion, nature, connectivity, and the afterlife. The two themes I used throughout the blocks are balance and building the world around us. If we had no limits today, what kind of world would we create?” - Typoe.
