Anne Wolf's mokume gane forms are inspired by the layers of time and history in the landscape. As she patterns the metal, her tools are imitating the geologic processes of our earth. Her chisel is the river, carving through the rock. Her hammer is metamorphosis, compressing and deforming. The process is meditation; a humble imitation of and tribute to the natural world. Anne Wolf holds an MFA from San Diego State University in Southern California. Her mokume gane metalwork is in the permanent collection at the Metal Museum in Memphis, Tennessee and was awarded a Bronze First seat by the NBSK in Japan. Wolf studied under Japanese metalwork masters such as Ford Hallam, Hiroko Sato-Pijanowski, and James Binnion. Her work has been shown across the U.S. and internationally in Germany, the UK, and Japan. Instagram: @annevillestudio Website: Annevillestudio.com
