• Artist Statement

  This is a photo of two explorers that have stumbled across a giant figure frozen in the ice. I photograph legos and try to make scenes that are inaccesible orcannot be made in the larger world. To make this photo, I froze a giant lego figure in a container in my freezer. Then, I took a patterned sheet, the frozen lego giant, and two lego mini-figures and set them up in a closet. I added a color light and put the sheet under the ice to make the environment look like a cave. Then, I took the photo.
