Responding to the exhibition brief of 'art, as a shifter of perceptions,... a terrain which can change how we think about ourselves and the world' Rich settled on the form of a watchtower - drawing on ideas of protection and defense, as well as places of physical and mental control such as prisons and concentration camps.
Rich was provided with a large amount of timbers and boards which he could use under one condition: he could not cut them.

’Rich drew on his strong architectural sensibilities to respond to the ex-dairy warehouse space with ‘Nest’ - a suspended human sized nest made of discarded objects and bits of debris, that totally charmed visitors with its intrigue and excellence of execution.’
