Terrence Higgins Trust - 2024, Timed Auction

Philip Michael Wolfson studied architecture at Cornell University, and at the Architectural Association, London, where he was discovered by Zaha Hadid. In 1991, Wolfson established his own studio and has worked throughout Europe and the USA on interiors and art pieces.

Wolfson says: "BirthTotems stem from line and form examinations in concentrating on unfolding pathways and growth characteristics relevant to the development of the forms that exist around us. Physically, my Totems are derived, in part, from directions of movement inherent in forms, and from a less physical point of view, the lines possess an innate organic quality and inherent sense of expectancy and animation. With BirthTotems, bestowing the forms with a symbolic meaning allows for a personal yet intangible expression and representation. The experience of intangibility sanctions a sacred and spiritual aura to the forms.” 

With this lot, the artist also offers a personal tour of their Studio in Epping and lunch or tea for a maximum of four people.
