FALSEWORK

Falsework, built entirely of concrete, confronts the material’s greatest weakness - its poor performance under tension. Falsework refers to the temporary wooden support system of a permanent concrete structure during construction. Taking inspiration from the brutalist concept of heavy-lightness, the process of Falsework enables my sculptures to take on more delicate and inviting properties than your typical concrete block. By creating sculptures that are dynamic, slight, and asymmetrically balanced, the project pushes the boundaries of how we interpret concrete.

The project included three concrete sculptures that sat in the central courtyard of the Center of Fine Arts at Wesleyan University.
