A TEENAGER is bringing a new art form to the world by creating mesmerizing structures using thousands of dominoes.

    Artist Lily Hevesh, 18, first started working with dominos aged 10 and now her YouTube channel Hevesh5, which publishes stunning videos of her domino structures, is nearing 1 million subscribers.

    Her immense structures can take anywhere from eight hours to a few days, with some pieces taking even longer — Hevesh’s glow in the dark domino creation was built over the space of a month.

    The New Hampshire-based artist said, “When I was about 10 years old I found a pack of about 28 dominoes at my grandparents and, just bored, I decided to set them up and knock it down.

    “I thought it was really cool watching them fall so I searched dominoes on YouTube to see if there were other videos of dominoes falling and I found a whole bunch of just amazing domino videos that blew my mind.

    “I had no idea that dominoes could be set up to make words, 3-D structures or to build pictures and texts.

    “I just thought you could do lines with dominoes but you can do so much more.”

    Lily’s infectious love of domino art has built a dedicated YouTube following with a channel that now boasts over 256 million views.

    But domino building is not as simple as it may appear and Hevesh has spent years honing her skills.

    She said, “One of the hardest skills to learn was trying to set it up without knocking it down by accident, because it’s really easy to just accidentally bump something and then all the dominos fall down and you have to restart.

    “So getting the hang of that and placing each domino accurately was something that took years to perfect.

    “Even now I still knock them down by accident but I’m a lot better than where I started.”
