Kurt Gumaer explores the intersection of function and form through sculptural works that reference furniture and architectural elements. Using wood, concrete, and salvaged construction materials, he constructs objects that suggest utility—benches climb walls, modular units come apart, and forms resist straightforward classification. Rooted in a sensitivity to material and site, Gumaer’s practice draws from both the natural world and the built environment. His work invites viewers to reconsider their relationship to space, structure, and the boundaries between design, sculpture, and installation.
