Wolves

The theme of the series – Journey of the Wolf – is an allegory for the human journey or man’s quest through life. The “circular” sequence of the works imparts a cultic sense that suggests associations with primeval man. Even the style of the exhibition brings to mind cultic worship. The wolf, which proceeds through a colorful changing expanse, demonstrates the cyclical nature of life. The run of the wolf captures the motif of movement. In Seidel’s horizontal works, the pack of wolves produces a whirlpool in which every change in color indicates a change in mood. The wolves advance through a field continuously charged with a different design. The transition from one stage to the next is emphasized by a slight modification existing between each work. This modification determines the wolf’s presence within the void existing between the moment before the change, the rush, and the moment after.
