Anne Wolf

Anne Wolf is a sculptor and installation artist who works with fiber, cloth, clay, and other natural and found materials. One major body of work references graves, shrouds, ruins, and decayed relics, drawing attention to significant, often unrecognized endings. A separate, yet parallel body of work alludes to generative forms such as seeds and pods and the possibilities of renewal.

Wolf's mixed-media sculptures and public, site-specific installations have been exhibited nationally and internationally. Past venues for her earthworks have included Mellon Park at Chatham College (Pittsburgh) and the University of Maine. She has created installation pieces at Works/San José, Centro Cultural de la Universidad Nacional de San Agustin (Arequipa, Peru), and SPACES Gallery (Cleveland).

In 2004, as an artist in residence at the Emeryville Youth Art Program, Wolf developed the ongoing, community-based Seed Project. Working with high-school and middle-school students to craft sculptural seeds based on careful observation of nature, Wolf created a curriculum centered on the exploration of issues such as powerlessness, strength, hope, growth, intention, and generosity. Ultimately, students were asked to define their personal intentions for improving their communities and to develop ways of using their "seeds" to realize their goals.
