"Wolff's work ... in an accordion fold vellum manuscript measuring nine inches tall and an amazing eighteen feet long, designed and illuminated to show the book's origins."
"Exhibited with a dozen manuscripts dating from the 12th to 15th cen- turies, the juxtaposition show how European works depict faces while Wolff eschews portraiture, choosing symbols instead, in line with ancient Jewish tradition."
"Wolff’s painstaking anthropological research is striking in all these drawings, which are often based upon layers of biblical and exegetical scholarship as well."
