Chris Wolston’s time in Colombia has spawned new work created by sand casting aluminum and this piece is no different. Featuring an exterior of exuberantly covered tropical motifs - artfully formed in place - the credenza also features a cane structure. Like earlier collections, the work has a puzzle-like feel with intricate motifs that come together to create a strong visual impact.
Wolston’s new furniture conveys his distinct narrative voice by employing aluminum pieces, based on hand illustrations, to present a tactile and compelling design statement. Drawing on his interest in ancient influences and postmodern fabrication, Wolston introduces a new aesthetic vernacular that offers each beholder a different, almost instinctual translation.
