Lam de Wolf was born in 1949, as Lam de Wolf her name consists of 2 animals, Lamb and Wolf, 2 animals, in contradiction as well as in her character and so also in her works. If you have the feeling to understand her works, then suddenly there is the other side. Her works is autonomic and conceptual or designed.
After her development at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam, Holland, she was known by her very new types of jewellery. The slogan was “WEARABLES” or “NOT WEARABLES”. The one that wants to wear them was looking like a moving challenging art piece, a center of a discussion about jewellery, fashion, being human and art. If you didn’t want to wear them, (These were also very big.) you could hang them on the wall, or put them somewhere as a 3-dimensional object. A lot of these “WEARABLES” are in famous collections of different museums all over the world. Besides the “WEARABLES”, Lam de Wolf made autonomic, textile art. These works consisted of single elements, so the works could change in different sizes, dependent on the sizes of the exhibition place.
