Opus Caementicium: My Work In Concrete, Thomas J. Botkin
Dissertations and Theses

It had the fluidity of a lava flow, the ugliness of scat and the power of gravity. The last two years have been spent using concrete as a sculptural material. The results of my research "Flips," "Fills," and "Plops," are inquiries into the nature of concrete.
