Once referred to as a “collagist in space”, Judy Pfaff is known for installation environments that draw paint, plastic, glass, metal, wood, found objects, fabric, resin, steel––anything that comes to hand––into spiky vortexes of pictorial abstraction. A pioneer of site-specific installation in the 1970s, Pfaff has consistently redefined this art form with works that respond to and incorporate their surroundings. Initially urban in feeling, but increasingly organic, Pfaff’s work over the past three decades transmits a generosity of spirit, which the artist considers essential to her practice. Collaboration is a central component of Pfaff’s work and students from PennDesign at the University of Pennsylvania will assist her in the installation.
