Publisher's Synopsis
Crossways presents the ever-changing grids that make up the modern urban center, be they intersecting streets, crisscrossing wires, or the ladder that climbs up the side of a building, as pure abstraction. For Phil Woollam, landscape is liquid and the city is a medium as fluid as ink.
Phil Woollam is an artist living in Toronto whose drawing-based practice often focuses on multiples that recall the colorful geometry of the Memphis movement and De Stijl. Trained as a sculptor, Woollam has also created three-dimensional works including mascots based on the characters and designs of cartoonist Michael DeForge.
