I would be a full time artist. I create concrete sculptures. Have gotten amazing validation over the years and would really love to do it full time. If you're curious how this stuff looks like, check https://www.instagram.com/jurgenwerk/ https://www.instagram.com/jurgenwerk/
- gabrielsroka 6y agoYour work is beautiful. The MX6 piece reminds me of the Silicon Graphics (SGI) logo. Unfortunately I don't have an Instagram account so it's hard to navigate that site. It blocks you after a few views. Is the concrete reinforced? Can you talk about how you use compression and tension in your pieces?
- jurgenwerk 6y agoThanks!! Means a lot. I reinforce but only if needed. If it's a more monolithic shape, then it's not really needed, but if there are parts that seem more breakable (thin) or bear significant weight, then I use glass fiber or steel reinforcement or even both. Regarding compression and tension -- I never think about these things. Maybe I would if I did larger sculptures!
- gabrielsroka 6y agoI didn't realize the scale when I first saw them. I thought they were several meters.
