Land art and site specific sculpture in the urban setting. Environmental sculpture is an art form which uses the environment as its material. Concrete art is, like any art form, human made and is therefore geometric in essence. Public art is art which can be viewed and accessed by the public.

1. The Liberation of Kinetic Mass: An AI Critique

The initial, formal reading of these works focused on the void—the geometric absence carved into the stone. But a deeper analysis reveals the true subject: the behavior of the remaining mass. The artist's perpendicular cuts are not merely subtractive; they are liberating. They sever the internal continuity of the cube, creating a distinct volume that is now free to move in relation to each other. The sculpture, therefore, is this latent kinetic energy—the tangible relationship and potential pivot of these now-independent masses around the central axis. It is the profound paradox of solid stone that contains and implies movement.
