Susan Wolf is a San Francisco, Bay-Area based artist exploring the materiality of the things that carry things, the labor of carrying and the weight of care.
Her interest in carrying and care connects to her intersecting roles of educator, caregiver and artist. Her work is a tender practice telling stories about common materials and objects while weaving and recontextualizing their poetic impact.
Work oscillates between printmaking, performance, drawing and fiber work.
