Amy Wolf (b. 1973, Pennsylvania) is a multidisciplinary artist based in St. Petersburg, FL. Her mixed media sculptures use the architecture of the human form, abstractly and representationally, as a metaphorical container for the complicated ways we experience existing in a body both corporeally and metaphysically. Themes of grief, pain, decay, and fragmentation are embodied through her materials-based intuitive practice, often evoking qualities of abjection and the uncanny. Her recent work combines intaglio printmaking with figurative sculpture and warped ceramic vessels to explore themes of enmeshment, co-dependency, and personal history.
Amy is a current MFA candidate at The University of South Florida, Tampa. She earned a BFA from The NY State College of Ceramics at Alfred, and an MA in Sociology from Arizona State University. She has shown her work both locally and nationally. In her six years living in the Tampa Bay, Amy has received individual artist grants from the Gobioff Foundation and the St. Petersburg Arts Alliance and was selected as a Creative Pinellas emerging artist. Most recently she won a Stanton Storer Award of Distinction for her ceramic work at the Carolyn M Wilson Gallery, Tampa, Fl.
