Chris Wolston Planter Chair "Guatavita"

Chris Wolston is a New York-based artist whose work explores the material vernacular of the modern-day and the fetishization of process. He received his bachelor of fine arts from the Rhode Island School of Design and a Fulbright grant to Colombia. Inspired by manual techniques and the regional contrasts between his Brooklyn and Medellín studios, Wolston creates work that demonstrates playful adaptations of materials, often mixing high and low-tech processes. Wolston’s work can be found in the permanent collections of the Museum of American Glass and the Museo de Antioquia in Medellín, Colombia.
