Artist Statement:

My basic medium is wood. Over the past fifty years I have created many subjects for my work, researching and exploring ideas that were meaningful to me at the time. Wood has always been part of all my work, used for itself or as a component of the image.

Early in my career I starting using both a band saw and a scroll saw. I have used very fine wood to discarded wood found on beaches. Wood presents a challenge that continues to test my skills.

New York Review

Contours speak volumes in the work of widely exhibited artist Bernette Rudolph. Rudolph achieves volumes of depth through the layering of cut wood so shapely and fluid that they imbue her wood wall sculptures with a sense of implied space fully imposing and sensual as that of free standing sculpture.
