The brickthings grew out of a woodcarver's interest in placing sculpture in the landscape. A small epiphany envisioned cored bricks threaded onto steel reinforcing rod, adding tensile strength to the compression indigenous to masonry structures. A love for the form of archs was thus allowed to explore whimsy. Wooden centerings were necessary to hold the shape until the mortar had cured.
