# Malleable Concrete Sculptures Exogenous by Nelson Fossey Explores the Concrete Material By Jamie Danielle Munro | Published 2014-09-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nelson-fossey References: [designboom](http://www.designboom.com/design/nelson-fossey-exogenous-concrete-molding-09-24-2014/) & [nelsonfossey](http://www.nelsonfossey.com/) Nelson Fossey has worked on a project titled Exogenous, whereby "the project provides a method to implement and mold useful objects for [outdoor courtyard or garden areas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-new-raw-1) and design in-situ produced seatings," according to DesignBoom. The project makes the use of concrete, since it's usually a material that most think about in a hardened form. Nelson Fossey wanted to change the perception of this, and have people think of this substance in a more malleable type of way. In a certain state it can be transformed into a number of different items, including [sculptures of certain forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lithic-bloom) and even more practical designs. Fossey has certainly done a good job of making the most of this type of material, and not allowing limiting beliefs to hold him back.
