I designed this enormous logo sculpture on commission for the Scottish Rite Masons in Massachusetts. Prior to this model, I had no experience with Freemasonry beyond, say, National Treasure, and I’m still no expert. Rather, to me, this project was an exercise in LEGO-izing unfamiliar iconography; it represented a chance for me to tackle a model I never would’ve thought to build on my own. When life throws me a challenge, I like to take it!

In that it’s a large-scale creature, sculpted with studs-out techniques, standing atop a big box pedestal, this Masonic Eagle logo exists in a similar vein and style to my Salesforce character pieces. However, the model also posed its own set of challenges and put forward its own unique questions.
