Devised as an alternative to a purely functional surface, ‘Eruption’ examines the role of light and shadow on the surfaces, as well as the dynamics of lines. Insinuating movement by both the contrasts of volume and the suggestion of physical perception of lightness, the piece explores the boundary of solid and void.

The artist Philip Michael Wolfson's unique approach to functional sculpture, design and art is informed by the vigorous dynamics resulting from the fracture and fragmentation of form – layering and manipulating both 2 and 3-dimensional studies into fluid shapes and forms, where the movement of light, shadow and reflection is an integral part of the seduction of the work. The works constantly evolve between static and dynamic models, shifting from the realm of objects and installations to that of purely artistic examination. Wolfson is prospecting new visual territories in the field of narrative object & space.
