Building Nature

Creative art collaborations should inspire viewers look at something differently — 
Take, for example, this Lego installation at the Huntsville botanical gardens, which connects nature and art in a whimsical manner. 

Placing playful sculptures within in this vast environment, juxtaposes complicated and elegant natural beings with the most basic of building blocks. 

There is something innately appealing about Lego blocks. They transcend age limits and invoke a feeling of vast possibilities. And while they could never recreate the delicate reality of a butterfly wing or a lily petal, I sure do like seeing them try.
