Ben Wolf (www.ben-wolf.com) moved to Detroit after growing up in Nashville and working as an artist in New York City. The shared artistic maker space allows him the room he needs for large installation art. His sculptural practice is most often installation driven: to create for a specific space gives life to material and shape, color and space.
