New Zealand-born Milton Cameron came to Australia in 1981 to join the team of architects designing the new Australian Parliament House in Canberra.

Building upon his previous experience, Cameron created these pixelated relief sculptures using thousands of tiny Lego pieces, whose 8 mm by 8 mm dimensions provide the title of the exhibition. The regular grid underlying these works allows Cameron to apply colour in a way that is sympathetic to his architectural sensibilities, whilst leaving the upper layers of the works open to flights of fancy and whimsy that are particularly compelling from close range. The images are bright and fresh, while the subject matter represents the artist’s broad range of interests across art and popular culture.
