My next idea was to create a cylinder tower around myself, so I would be trapped inside the tower. However, after doing the corner tower I have deemed it as being unsafe as the bricks aren't 100% stable. I won't be pursuing with this idea as the tower could collapse inwards and hurt me.
I began today by researching into Minimalist sculptor Carl Andre, famous for writing poetry, making drawings and some abstract sculptures in perspex and wood, with geometric forms.

I then went on to create a brick sculpture in response to this research. However, as my sculpture is created from junk/recycled bricks I have purposely left gaps where the brick should be. My brick square isn't uniform like Carl Andre's as I am attempting to achieve a rugged, recycled piece of work.
Since these photographs have been taken I have made the square straighter, which now gives a better illusion of where the gaps are.
Working in this manner has made me realise a link between this brick sculpture and mosaics, especially where bits are missing in mosaics, also known as 'lacuna'.
