Susan Woolf is a Fine Artist who has had numerous solo art exhibitions nationally and abroad.
Woolf is known for her conceptual and three dimensional art, which includes a kinetic Mobile City for Absa Bank, in collaboration with two architects. This aluminium work is 5 stories high and weighs 3 tons. Woolf subsequently designed a composite of eleven aluminium outdoor sculptures. These throw shadows which collectively read “UBUNTU” throughout the year, every day, at a specific time.

Taxi Hand Sign 2010 Stamp and Booklet
After years of preparation, 2010 is heralds the launch of Susan Woolf's sighted taxi hand sign booklet. Her rendition of the taxi hand signs, unique to South Africa, also feature on the 2010 South African National commemorative stamps and envelopes and they will be launched together on 29 January 2010 at the Standard Bank Art Gallery.
The research involved correlating taxi destinations and their corresponding hand signs, which had never before been documented in South Africa. These were then rendered into colourful fine art by the artist.

Jacobs’s Ladder: The Artistic Intent
In drawing attention to how we and the media in general judge politicians and other people, I choose to represent carefully selected politicians in my artwork to tell the story. The deep and interesting story of Jacob’s Ladder in the Old Testament is about the sensitivity of purpose in bettering ourselves as we go up the ladder and the possibility of bettering the world around us when we are on the lower rungs. It is also an aggressive story about stolen identities, flight, perception and judgement. I use these aspects and more in the Jacob’s Ladder sculptures.
