Dietlind Wolf is a versatile artist whose curiosity about life leads her on a constant search for traces of materiality.

After studying visual communication at Aachen University of Applied Sciences, where she graduated with an award for outstanding achievement, she worked for renowned brands as a textile designer in haute couture in Italy and Switzerland. In the 1990s, she began her freelance career as a textile designer and as a stylist for still life and food photography for international magazines.

In 2004, Dietlind Wolf began designing and producing her own earthenware and porcelain vessels for her photographic works. This marked the beginning of an experimental artistic development in which she explores traces of material history in sand, clay, earth and stone.

Her biographical path explains the influences and interconnections of various artistic disciplines in her work. With a keen sense of materiality and color, she develops independent concepts and implements unusual ideas in unmistakable form. Her clay vessels gain a special atmospheric density through the deliberate use of materials and invite people to embark on their own search for traces with all their senses.

A subtle irony occasionally creeps in. Medieval street dirt from the archaeological excavations in Lübeck's Beckergrube shows up on the surfaces of the vessels after firing as fine golden speckles that make us think about history, value and perception.
