Artist shares what it took to piece together larger-than-life Lego art exhibit

Polar bears, hummingbirds and monkeys: It took artist SeanKenneynearlyfive years of full-time work and about 1.3 million pieces of Lego to piece together these animals, and many others, purely from Lego.

Lego Animal Super Powers is on display at the Event Centre at LaSalle Landing and will open to the public next week.

"I've been playing with Lego toys ever since I was probably twoyears old, and you know, my creations just became more and more elaborate as I got older," Kenney told the CBC's Jacob Barker. "Now I've been doing it full time for nearly 20 years."

The exhibit features larger-than-life displays of animals, all made completely out of off-the-shelf Lego bricks.
