ABOUT

Rachel Wolfe (b. 1984, Dixon, Illinois) is a multi-disciplinary, international artist. She creates sublime timescapes to proliferate beauty through public art, installations, images (photographyvideo), textiles, and sculptures. Her parietal and temporal interests and experiences living with synesthesia motivate an epistemological approach to the ways places make people. Wolfe works with afferent beauty in her aesthetic and material choices in her work with somatics and technology. Foundational disciplines in music and dance coupled by values in kinesthesiology and conservation inform methods of currere used in Æsthetic Resonances, Pattern Recognition, Visual Literacy, and Body Architecture. Artist-in-residence in Paris (FR, 2023), Kjerringøy Land Art (NO, 2020), Angelot-Trélex (CH, 2019), Praksis Oslo and Praxisdansfestivalen (NO, 2017), received degrees with honours, MFA (2015), BA (2006), and studied on scholarship and work-study in Butoh, Photography, Yoga, and Social Psychology in Norway, Illinois, and Japan (2013-2017). Her award-winning work is held in private and public collections, including monolithic image and text, Omniscient, awarded 1st in the Imaging New Eurasia exhibition in Gwangju (SK, 2015) and Art Farm Iowa (USA, 2023). Albumen Gallery (UK), and CollectiveOslo (NO), represent several of her photographic series. She works as a photographer, performer, and researcher.
