The DIY Public Sculpture Kit 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.
DIY Public Sculpture Kit (PSK) – LARGE by Francis Thorburn is a monumental, modular sculpture designed to invite public interaction, creativity, and collaboration. Measuring an impressive 390cm high, 1400cm wide, and 750cm deep. This unique steel structure bridges the gap between sculpture, architecture, and communal play.
The PSK is built from geometric components, with angles derived from octagons, hexagons, squares, and triangles. These repeating forms allow for near-infinite configurations. Rather than existing as a fixed object, the sculpture transforms through human input. This encourages hands-on engagement and exploration. Each new assembly becomes a shared act of construction and imagination.
Thorburn’s work emphasizes learning through making. Building helps to develop spatial awareness, structural understanding and a deeper appreciation for collective effort. The steel frame, while robust and industrial, becomes a flexible skeleton for creativity. Depending on how it’s arranged, the PSK can resemble architectural pavilions, abstract forms, or fantastical constructions.
In essence, the DIY Public Sculpture Kit functions as both art and tool. It celebrates adaptability, curiosity, and community, and reminds us that sculpture doesn’t have to be static, it can grow, shift, and reflect the people who interact with it.
