In the work that Ute Wolff propose, she try to reinterpret poetically the object of the "neon tube" (fluorescent tube). She repeat the simplicity of its linear form. The choice of colors and materials is directly guided by the reddish orange color that neon gas emits in neon tubes.
The surfaces of the tubes are refined in embroidery. The whole thing is wanted as a playful game. The work is composed of 4 individual tubes, 59 cm long. The material is Tyvek.
A part of each tube is illuminated by LEDs. Ute Wolff responds to a need of sensual and contemplatives objects in the daily life of a digital age with her textile creations. In her designs, industrial and crafts technologies overlap.
Especially material research, as well as graphical and formal research and the exploration of the relationship to space and light are her favorite ways to arrive at an interpretation that is both, poetic and contemporary.
Her work strives for a wealth disguised as simplicity.
