A stunning architectural desk clock that channels Memphis Milano at its best, "Step By Step" by Kim Mullis as Wilderness Bodies showcases the artist's mastery of geometric form and playful color theory. This striking piece features a white Corian base with dramatic stepped architecture, crowned by a vibrant black clock face adorned with multi-color geometric symbols. The substantial sculptural form creates fantastic visual weight, while the whimsical array of circles, squares, zigzags, and abstract shapes transforms traditional timekeeping into an engaging graphic composition that feels both nostalgic and thoroughly modern.
Mullis's Wilderness Bodies practice elevates functional objects into the realm of art, drawing inspiration from Memphis Milano's rebellious spirit and 1980s graphic design aesthetics. The innovative use of Corian-typically reserved for architectural applications-paired with transparent plexi and glossy epoxy accents showcases her commitment to material experimentation. This approach represents a broader movement where boundaries between craft and fine art are blurred, creating pieces that function as both practical timepieces and conversation-starting sculptures that celebrate the joy of pure design.
