Judy
Hoffman has created a new version of Ground Springs,
a dense landscape that appears to both grow and decay.
This complex world is made of natural and industrial
debris scavenged from sidewalks, empty lots, beaches,
and roadsides. Her fascination with making things is
evident in the magical way that she combines and constructs
disparate elements. Hoffman sees the potential for abject
scavenged objects to become something else. Its as if
a crumpled piece of wire calls out to her from the sidewalk,
“I’m lively. Take me. I could be something.”
Judy Hoffman has had solo exhibitions at the Ceres,
New York, NY and has created site-specific installations
for galleries and gardens including the Abrons Art Center,
Henry Street Settlement, New York, NY, The Omni Gallery,
Uniondale, NY, the New Visions Garden, and the United
Community Garden, both in Brooklyn, NY. She frequently
teaches printmaking and handmade papermaking. |
