I am Sophia Wolfe, an interdisciplinary animator, filmmaker, and artist. My pieces range from experimental animation videos, to narrative films, to objects and site-specific installation with projected video. I observe the shapes, systems, and cycles of the natural world, the body, and the mind. My curiosities and discoveries are expressed through a magical lens, often with the use of whimsical characters, settings, narratives, and animation, that reflect the fantastical relationship I have with my environment.
       I consider the medium itself as a tool for storytelling, carefully selecting animation techniques tailored to the intention of each piece. For example, animating plants allows me to become familiar with their structures and their surroundings, while working with paper puppets for my mathematical film Fantastical Revelations of Art Math and Romance helps me conceptualize two-dimensional realities. The materiality of the presentation is equally considered; Icolette, a film about a girl's battle with a fish, is presented by projecting the movie onto the surface of a pond. The driving force behind every work is a curiosity about our natural world that compels me to explore it scientifically and creatively.
