FUNCTIONAL INTERVENTIONS

Functional Interventions

A series of site-sensitive sculptural works developed by Sculpture II and Advanced Sculpture students, this project engages themes of community, multiplicity, and transformation through large-scale, site-responsive interventions. Created individually or collaboratively, the works explore the intersection of sculpture, environment, and public use, often functioning as seating or gathering spaces for reflection and conversation. Blurring the boundary between art and utility, the sculptures foster openness, collaboration, and mutual care while encouraging dynamic interactions between form, function, and the surrounding landscape.
