My search is to find the figure lurking inside the stone. No artist has influenced me more than Barbara Hepworth whose work has set a bar so high that I could never approach it, but which nonetheless gives me tremendous enjoyment in trying. The absence of space that marks so many of her works for me has been a recurring motif, not by design, but as the end product of my search for what the stone will reveal.

The effort to create art is deeply contemplative and spiritual for me. Paul Wolff is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin and Harvard Law School. He studied at the Corcoran School of Art. His work is in private collections as well as the collections of the Harvard School; Morgan Lewis; White and Case; Baach, Robinson and Lewis, DLA Piper Rudnick; and Williams and Connelly.
