A stunning desk clock with bold Memphis Milano influences, "Wavybone" by Kim Mullis as Wilderness Bodies features a dramatic undulating silhouette that creates fantastic visual movement and organic flow. This striking piece showcases a playful contrast between the sculptural base with its sensuous curved profile and the clean circular clock face adorned with colorful geometric symbols in red, yellow, green, and blue. The form is elevated by vibrant, bright, and contrasting elements at the base that echo the primary color palette, while plexi and epoxy accents add sophisticated depth to this engaging composition.
Mullis's Wilderness Bodies practice demonstrates how she is reimagining functional objects as expressive sculptures that celebrate both form and whimsy. The innovative use of MDF allows for this bold architectural shape, while the speckled surface treatment adds textural richness that plays beautifully against the smooth curves. This approach represents the cutting edge of functional art, where everyday objects transcend their utilitarian origins to become statement pieces that blur boundaries between craft, design, and fine art through playful postmodern sensibilities.
