Redding Artist Competes In Finals On TV's 'LEGO Masters'

REDING, CT — Local LEGO Artist Jessica Ewud is advancing to the finals on the FOX TV show, LEGO Masters, on Wednesday night.

Following last week's "Star Wars"-themed competition, she and her partner Samuel Hatmaker will battle in the final build-off against their remaining two competing teams in the season finale.

Ewud, whose professional name is RAGZY X, has seen her "LEGO Lincoln," made with over 4,000 bricks, displayed in Rockefeller Center. Although she works in a variety of media, her most famous "pop science"exhibits have leaned heavily on LEGO pieces. Her work is shown regularly throughout southwest Connecticut and New York.

Ewud and her partner have been comeback artists throughout the series, snatching their victories from the primary-colored jaws of defeat almost weekly since the show's premiere on Feb. 5. Will their luck hold up in the finale? Will they take home the $100,000 grand prize? Will they each earn the title "LEGO Master Builder"? Tune in Wednesday, April 15, at 9 p.m. to find out.
