 I think I decided right at this moment that I loved sculpture.....I loved how every stage was like a new object. I could have quite easily left my sculpture as a curved sheet of stainless steel, lying on a  bed of angled planks and old curtains. 

The Second Curve

I added another ribbon to create a less perfect curve. I wanted it to warp in parts , or be slightly con-cerved as it got near the sides

eight

Eight bags. 

Two of aggregate

Six of cement

For some reason it hadn't occurred to me that it would weigh the amount of their weight combined ( each bag weighing 20kg) I was thinking because the concrete was so thin and fragile it would hardly weigh a thing. How wrong  I was....

The new city of Zoetermeer, in The Netherlands, was projected over the old village which became its old center - Buytenwegh De Leyens was one of the new areas. For a school in that sector, Lucien den Arend made six concrete sculptures comprised of two groups - one with three concave sculptures and one with two convex ones.

Homage to Richard Serra

Homage to Richard Serra

It would be appropriate here  to acknowledge Richard Serra , as the similarities when working with concave wall is unavoidable 

I would like to use a similar technique when applying the concrete mixture to the large steel mold. I tried to do this on the smaller practice molds, but they were too small for it to work properly
