The work has evolved from monumental or 'body scale' forms hanging from the ceiling or wall to a series of independent floor sculptures with biomorphic associations. These elements assume creature forms and evoke associations from our common unconscious memory with many layers of meaning.

Combine elements of the past and the present to create scenes that represent a blurring of worlds. Combines her traditional painting style with an inclusion of contemporary content such as a clothing . Work is filled with texture and surface: skin, silverware, hair and leather

"she invests with fetishistic and sometimes tragic symbolism. The patterns of thematic repetition in her body of work perform a pathological, even medical, excavation; or perhaps an attempt to exorcise their seductive appeal, treading the fine line between advert and pervert."

"he resulting vision is a mournful one, rendered in a muted palette, and compositionally disquieting, with implausible perspectives, crushed distances and a certain claustrophobia – we never see a sky line or a full body."

"All The Rage (a phrase which simultaneously suggests both unrelenting anger and a nod to what it is to be concerned with fashion) Wood offered a dysmorphic take on objects we think we know the shape of."

Philip Jackson

“If I am asked to describe what I do with my sculpture I reply that I look back at a previous age and render it in an impressionistic but contemporary manner.”

Henry Moore

Is it ancient or modern? He examined bones and skulls, picked up shells, sticks and stones from when he went on walks in the countryside, took them back to this studio and examined their shape and texture.

Shapes in landscape. Linking the human body and landscape. Biomorphic. Ambiguous.

Michael Wolf -Transparent City

https://www.mocp.org/exhibitions/2000/8/michael-wolf-the-transparent-city.php

Wolf depicts the city more abstractly, focusing less on individual well-known structures and more on the contradictions and conflicts between architectural styles when visually flattened together in a photograph. His pictures look through the multiple layers of glass to reveal the social constructs of living and working in an urban environment, focusing specifically on voyeurism and the contemporary urban landscape in flux. Wolf explores the complex, sometimes blurred distinctions between private and public life in a city made transparent by his intense observation.
