Concrete Cat

July 22, 2010

I made a really nice concrete step or riser, I’m not really sure which it would be.

I am very pleased with the finished results, I did some interesting metal and stone inlays, as well as adding some texturing into a few panels to give some traction as straight polished concrete is quite smooth.

I also did a blend of colours to try and get some marbling through out the piece. The idea was to get a visual texture close to the cork with colours that were complimentary but not quite the same as the cork.

I don’t know what this classifies as. It is structural but also like a piece of furniture and a bit like a sculpture. So I guess if you live in Edmonton or Calgary and are looking for an interesting sculpture made of concrete that also doubles as a step and a low bench to sit on I’m your guy. Hope you liked it!
