Ben Wolf studied Photography but is now entirely devoted to sculpture and installation. He likes to create his works for a specific space to give life to material and shape, color and spaces and uses various technics from carpentry, welding, casting, to general assembly of chaos. Often times dragging in oversized hordes from the depths of abandonment; adding, stacking, layering. His choice of materials like rotten boards, rusted stair wells, peeling paint reflects his interest in decadence of abandonment. The outcomes are usually abstract forms that deflect reference and invite the visual journey of interpretation.
