He dreams of building a towering sculpture in the form of a Cuisinart made entirely of chicken wire, twisted scrap lumber, and Plaster of Paris. In his dream the sculpture is so tall that it scrapes the ceiling. When he wakes he decides to pursue the theme but makes a refrigerator instead.

Unbuilt: Small, Silent Museum
Unbuilt: Museum, Conté on paper, 23″ x 32″, 2008
The small silent museum is unmarked on most tourist maps and rarely visited. It is housed in a narrow, high-ceilinged palazzo that was abandoned in the war. Built with only a few, tiny windows the unventilated, ochre walls give off a vaguely moldy smell and if you drag your finger along their surface you will discover chalk on your fingertips. The main attraction is a sculptural fragment created by the ancient inhabitants, guarded by the bored son of a local grocer.
Unbuilt: Rue Des Martyrs
Unbuilt: Rue Des Martyr, Conté on paper, 23″ x 32″, 2008
We are on the top floor of a building in the Rue des Martyrs. The martyrs are those that fought underground during the War. The apartment has not changed. The wall-mounted sinks still hang in the stairway. The brown door pulls still mounted in the exact center of the door.
