DIY Public Sculpture Kit (PSK) 1 by Francis Thorburn, Steel, Unique, 195cm high by 240cm wide by 200cm deep, Abstract, All Sculpture, Architecture sculpture

DIY Public Sculpture Kit (PSK) 1 by Francis Thorburn is a bold, modular steel sculpture built for interaction and collaboration. Standing 195cm high, 240cm wide, and 200cm deep, the structure commands space and invites exploration.

Thorburn uses sharp geometric elements, octagons, hexagons, squares, and triangles, to form a three-dimensional framework. Each section fits together in countless ways,  which allows builders to reshape the sculpture again and again.

This is a modular sculpture that can be built in hundreds of different forms. It is a 3D geometric structure consisting of angles relating to octagons, hexagons, squares, and triangles. This project is designed for collaborative making and learning. This is not a static piece. It encourages active participation. Viewers become makers, and through building, they learn, play, and contribute to the sculpture’s evolving form.

Thorburn embraces process over perfection. He shifts focus from finished product to collaborative experience. Steel gives the piece strength and permanence, while its open design keeps it light and flexible.

This sculpture transforms public space into a shared workshop. It challenges traditional sculpture by prioritizing engagement, reinvention, and communal learning.
