Phillip K. Smith III
American artist Phillip K. Smith III uses light as a medium to create optically shifting sculptures inspired by their surroundings. Three of his artworks are currently on display, including the meditative, mirror-polished 'Garden of Reflections, 2022'.
Chris Wolston
Artist and designer Chris Wolston adds to our sculpture garden with a selection of thoughtfully conceptualised, delicately made works. Inspired by his adopted home of Medellín, Colombia, they explore the significance of flowers in both Medellín and Los Angeles.
