Alongside the rooftop project, I produced custom sculptures, rock formations, and fabricated elements for Lauren Halsey Studio exhibitions. These builds required traditional sculpting, advanced fabrication, and problem‑solving with unconventional materials—all while maintaining the artist’s aesthetic vision and exhibition durability requirements.
Resin & Concrete Waterfall Installation - Jeffrey Deitch Gallery
- Sculpted a 350–400 lb waterfall using resin and fiberglass over a reinforced structure.
- Shaped and textured the surface to achieve water‑like movement.
- Engineered for transport and exhibition durability.
- Finished with hand painting and surface treatments for depth.

Rock Formation & Sculptural Elements
- Created large rock formations from carved foam with resin/texture coatings.
- Developed custom surfaces to match visual motifs in the artist’s work.
- Integrated structural supports for stability during exhibition.

Additional Fabricated Components
- Translated conceptual sketches into durable, exhibition‑ready forms.
- Mixed media: wood, resin, foam, fiberglass; scenic painting & finishes.
Materials & Techniques
- Resin & fiberglass sculpting
- Foam carving & hard coating
- Custom surface painting and texturing
- Structural armature building
Outcome
These projects expanded my expertise in free-standing sculptures, unconventional textures, and structural durability. They reinforced my ability to deliver visually striking, exhibition-ready works that balance artistic vision with long-term stability.
