Crafted from stained walnut, Wendell Castle’s Only What It Seems appears stark and allusive, its monochrome palette beckoning to the natural world through its solid yet sleek composition. The curved base twists in the middle, forming a unique silhouette that defies expectations of what can be achieved through the mediums of sculpture and furniture.
