Artist Statement

Wood is my material of choice; I have used it as an indirect means for the finished work as in my many years of making woodcut prints or as a mold for hand paper sculpture. Today the wood I cut is used as an end in itself. Baltic Birch wood is the material of my "Wood Wall Sculptures".

Wood has unlimited possibilities and my goal is to explore the endless challenges that wait to be discovered. My tools are the band saw and the scroll saw. I use these tools as the painter uses a brush and canvas.

New York Review

Contours speak volumes in the work of widely exhibited artist Bernette Rudolph. Rudolph achieves volumes of depth through the layering of cut wood so shapely and fluid that they imbue her wood wall sculptures with a sense of implied space fully imposing and sensual as that of free standing sculpture.
