Judy Hoffman

Judy Hoffman

Judy Hoffman is a American artist living and working in New York City. Hoffman is a Book artist, specializing in handmade paper, sculpture installation, and printmaking most of which are "uniques" or "one-of-a-kinds."

Hoffman's art is a complex world of natural and industrial debris scavenged from sidewalks, empty lots, beaches, and roadsides. Hoffman's fascination with making things is evident in the eco-systems that erupt from her creations.

Her work has been shown extensively in galleries specializing with book arts venues including Abrons Art Center, Henry Street Settlement, Ceres Gallery, Omni Gallery and SPACE Gallery.

Hoffman frequently teaches printmaking and handmade papermaking.

Exhibitions

Hoffman's work was included in the exhibition, "Women of the Book: Jewish Artists, Jewish Theme" curated by Judith Hoffberg [ [http://sul2.stanford.edu/byform/mailing-lists/bookarts/2002/02/msg00220.html "Women of the Book: Jewish Artists, Jewish Themes"] ]

The exhibition demonstrates how Jewish women artists utilize the book form to establish their position within Judaism, but also explore the intimacy as well as the universality of the book within Jewish tradition.

Quotes

* Hoffman 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. -Jim Wintner, SDCA [ [http://palimpsest.stanford.edu/byform/mailing-lists/bookarts/2007/10/msg00003.html SPACE Gallery, Seaport District Cultural Association, New York, NY] 2007]

* Judy Hoffman collects materials from city streets, beaches and woods for her complex created "ecosystems". The act of gathering is in itself a creative process for her in that she works intuitively, looking first at the shape, line and color of the piece.
