In his recent work Gareth modeled, fired and painstakingly installed well perceived, site-sensitive structures with mini bricks. For Peace of Mind he will produce thousands of mini beams not in steel, but miniatures in wood. These structures will be assembled in several unexpected, seemingly uncontrolled, wildly flourishing installations or "construction sites" leaping and progressing into space.
