Label Text:Ann Wolff is a sculptor, painter and printmaker and has always insisted she not be classified as a “glass artist.” She often combines materials in her work, expressing her mastery of many media. With a strong fascination with body parts (especially the head), Wolff explores cultural ideas of the dependence of women on men, women as homemakers, and the need for freedom. In this work, Wolff continues her ongoing investigation of the human condition. The haunted eyes in the glass “face” are strongly drawn and look out from atop the rigid and totemic body, seemingly expressing sorrow at growing old.
