about the photographer
Rachel Wolfe is an artist that sees the body as the generative force in cognition. Ontology, labor, desire, and movement are the basis of her interdisciplinary work through a structuralist process -this structure is based on an understanding of nature cultivated through the pragmatic practices in five-element theory and the internal arts. Wolfe works to immerse human senses, while nurturing a reverence for beauty. The final artworks are realised by referencing site-specific histories within peculiar, material choices. Her life’s work is to make visible the myth of the psychological and physical divide, through conveying the relationship between Vision and Conception. She exhibits and works internationally on private, commercial, and consulting projects.Her work has been collected and exhibited throughout the United States, Europe, and Asia.
