IEA Member Artist Profile
Daniella Woolf
Daniella Woolf's encaustic art produces ancient looking, yet contemporary, pieces. This process allows
her to transform remnants of time, personal history and the environment into a language of artifacts,
creating a personal archaeology.
ARTIST STATEMENT
My recent body of work, loosely entitled Spaces Between Words, is inspired by my ongoing ritual of journaling. Each
morning, I write three hand-written pages of stream of consciousness thoughts and memories. Every once in a while
something unexpected and surprising emerges through this writing. I cut these pages up and embed them in my work,
using a perfect and durable medium, beeswax. The result is a newly formed language set in a lush backdrop of color
and texture. The secret contents are intact yet undecipherable. It is natural for me to begin with the grid, as my
background is in textile structures. I shift and deconstruct the grid to create everything from an irregular format
of shapes to a tight, multidimensional field of pattern. The thread that runs through my work is my love for and
obsession with pattern, geometry, luscious color, layering and translucency.
