The Living Series: There's the sensation of a lot of

1989

A minimalist sculptural bench crafted from cast concrete or stone aggregate material. The piece features a simple rectangular top supported by four sturdy cylindrical legs, creating a functional yet austere form. The rough, granular surface texture and neutral beige coloration emphasize the raw materiality of the construction. The work exemplifies contemporary approaches to utilitarian design elevated to art object status, questioning the boundaries between furniture and sculpture.
