Drawings by Joshua AM Ross

Furniture Designs by Caleb Engstrom

Wönzimer is pleased to announce Ode to Sunflower, a two-person exhibition featuring new works by Joshua AM Ross and Caleb Engstrom.

Ode to Sunflower explores themes of perception, the body, and material intimacy through drawings and furniture. The exhibition features 14 colored pencil drawings by Joshua AM Ross alongside 14 new furniture pieces by Caleb Engstrom.

Joshua AM Ross’s work draws a parallel between the life cycle of the sunflower and the human body. His series of drawings portrays figures in motion, capturing moments of interaction and connection. These works ask questions about seeing, being, and becoming, examining how bodies engage with one another through both touch and non-touch.

Caleb Engstrom presents the newest chapter of his DRY KISS series. The works include aluminum chairs and the debut of a dining table, as well as an upholstered lounge chair in wide-wale corduroy. Guided by the mantra “don’t repeat yourself, keep it simple, stupid,” Engstrom explores how we inhabit objects, and how touch transforms into memory.

Together, Ross and Engstrom’s investigations into the architecture of experience and the intimacy of materials find shared ground, creating a dialogue between their works
