I think working with Legos would be similar to the balloon work I've done in the past--it's a fairly restricting medium, but you can still do "anything." The art comes from what you do within those restrictions, incorporating them or using them to explicitly make a point. The image I've included, for example, would be very different if made of clay, bronze or wood. It takes a piecewise medium to have the same effect... you could do something similar with woven branches, brick, or balloons. Legos are especially interesting because they are supposed to fit together and because they are so commonly associated with children.
