WHY NOT - MIRROR

Creator: Philip Michael Wolfson
Offered by: Marion Friedmann Gallery

Description
WHY NOT
Mirror and Shelf - in artificial stone by Philip Michael Wolfson, from his TWISTED series, developed in 2029. Inspired by the letter Q, the work explores the relationship between language, form and infinity through its spiral-like shape. Drawing on concrete poetry and the idea of “seeing the word in itself,” Wolfson investigates rhythm, movement and perception. The title WHY NOT extends this exploration, inviting questions that reach beyond the reflection itself.

The complex shapes of TWISTED create a choreography of motion and continual transformation, layering and manipulating the material into fluid shapes and forms, where shadow and reflection are an integral part of the seduction of the work. Manufactured in England, the TWISTED series pushes the material boundaries. Stretching, bending and curving seamless forms, the works appear frozen in space.TWISTED is composed of: Eruption, Twisted Bar, Twisted Desk, Why/Why Not consoles, Split chair low, Split chair high, Split stool, and the Split & Gilded stool from the TWISTED & GILDED collection with 24K gold leaf internally applied.
