In architecture a corbel is a bracket used to support an architectural element above it. The term comes from Old French, meaning the diminutive of the word for 'crow'. In Jimmie Durham’s Architexture, the Corbel is made of black papier-mâché, a bird-like sculpture placed in the intersection between a beam or wall and the ceiling, as if ready to fly away and free itself from architecture.
