Wolf’s work explores imaginative collaborative storytelling as a viable method of producing knowledge. This collaborative storytelling emerges in a plethora of ways, recently occurring as visual elaborations upon ethnographic interviews surrounding Wolf’s Black family histories, an artistic response to an interlocutor's exploration of the Black experience through birdsong and the blues, and ongoing artistic conversations with poetry by a writer in Chicago on fear/longing/memory. Many of Wolf’s artworks use personal and external experiences and scholarship to research Black American practices of radical imagination as a weapon against sustained racial subjugation. Wolf also uses explorations of material and medium to physically explore the concept of the “irrational” within the human psyche, recently keying in on issues of moral scrupulosity in an era of constant ethical surveillance. Whether through explorations of Black matriarchy, family archives, or moral perfectionism, many of Wolf’s works challenge what we deem “satisfactory” knowledge about our interiority and exteriority, and invite the viewer to become a collaborator in imagining beyond preconceptions.
