Jan Vormann is an artist I was referred to by a classmate while trying to decide what to do for my FMP. His work is fun and interesting, and is based heavily on ideas of childhood and nostalgia. This particular one entitled 'Dispatchwork' is an almost futile attempt at repairing damaged or weathered walls with lego of different colours. The reason it could be classed as futile is because the lego doesn't make any structural difference, and there is way to many holes and damaged structures for him alone. Yet the nostalgic and colourful effect it has on the viewer (and availability for anyone to do) has inspired people to go out and do it themselves. This is probably the best and most beautiful idea I have ever come across, and I will be messaging Jan soon with a questionairre to inspire me further.
