CONCRETE POETICS: OUTER RHYMES
Sculptural Design Rooted in Process, Materiality, and Modular Function
Concrete Poetics is a living system of ideas, experiments, and forms. Born in Brooklyn, it operates at the intersection of raw material and refined intent, translating the language of cement, gravity, and structure into functional sculpture. Through a dialogue between industrial process and poetic restraint, Concrete Poetics embraces imperfection, intuition, and atmosphere.
Each piece that emerges from this world is hand-cast to order, grounded in process and presence. The work speaks through weight and surface, shadow and rhythm. At its core is a belief in the sculptural object as both tool and companion: something to sit with, to place upon, to move around, to live beside.
THE INTERPLAY OF FORM, MATERIAL, AND PERFORMANCE
Concrete Poetics moves beyond automation, toward a tactile, iterative process—an architecture of immediacy. Designs are built from the inside out, shaped by modest means: manual mold-making, raw industrial materials, and a refusal of perfection as a goal. This restraint becomes a mode of expression, where negative space, mass, and constraint form the foundation of the aesthetic.
CONCRETE PARALLALAX
What begins as repetition and layering evolves into visual tension—patterns emerge, shift, and dissolve with every angle. This is the essence of concrete parallax, where each form changes depending on how it is approached. Like landforms carved by erosion or ruins shaped by time, these objects retain traces of their own becoming.
PRIMORDIAL TECTONICS
The world of Concrete Poetics draws from tectonics and terrain: the strata of Death Valley, the raw verticality of Joshua Tree, the pale stillness of unfinished sites. These references live quietly inside the forms—not as imitation, but as sensation.
THE MECHANICS OF PERCEPTION
Built to transform and combine, the pieces are modular by nature—designed to participate in larger compositions. They anchor space and respond to their surroundings, creating micro-landscapes and sculptural dialogue. A stool becomes a table leg. A vessel becomes a fountain. Every part contains a latent possibility.
Concrete Poetics is about making space physical. It’s an inquiry into how objects inhabit and shape our environments—both visually and emotionally. Whether placed indoors or outdoors, alone or in conversation, these pieces ask us to slow down and look again. To consider how weight can feel light. How silence can become presence.
