From 23 March 2017, Carpenters Workshop Gallery | Paris dedicates its Parisian space to the American design icon Wendell Castle. The show "Planting Seeds" will retrace the master's career.

As a pioneer of the “American Studio Craft” movement, Wendell Castle has, over the years, scattered the seeds of his creative work, inspired by the vitality of natural forms, a poetic alchemy that heightens the senses.

The pieces from the last few years unfold in a vast panoramic landscape, one-by-one, they take their place in the sensual and troubling world of Wendell Castle. Growing and budding, petals flush to the surface of the earth in an upward movement towards elsewhere, making its home in the original shell.

The exhibition ‘Planting Seeds’ at Carpenters Workshop Gallery Paris confirms the idea that the path constructs itself, unique, remarkable and coherent. Wendell Castle, planting seeds in the domestic space with new pieces that become more and more complex and, which seem, once revealed, to pursue, alone, their unique destiny.
