Building Units are sculptures that either have a repeated object as a building block, represent the idea of a possible repeated structure, or is a material or process that can be used as a repeated method of construction. These works usually center around the notion of how we have structured our inhabitance and how we then need to escape the centers of blunders we have created through expansion or escape from ourselves; inner city versus suburbs versus country, and back again. Other sculptures in this series use building type materials and processes in a haphazard manner of natural disaster proportions to again show a beauty in our total short-sightedness and repeated misunderstanding of our habitat, within our environment and nature.
