“The Many”

I like to build structures using a simple formal unit.
Only some features are set out in advance and the object is the result of an accumulation of small elements.
Many of my objects look a little like things found in the natural domain but none are actually modelled on anything there.
They converge in appearance because building structures with given materials or for some function imposes certain patterns, whatever material they are realised in.
