Indestructible Wonder (2016-2017)
Influenced by European Dadaist installations that combined painting, sculpture, and photography, Judy Pfaff pioneered the emergence of installation art in the United States during the 1970s. In her colorful and richly textural installations and mixed-media work on paper, Pfaff incorporates diverse and intricate visual elements to form an organic and cohesive whole that is intensely energetic.
In North Wind, she used successive layers of ink, printed matter, and found objects to create a vibrant and complex cacophony of forms and images that are in and out of focus. By dismantling the fabric and mechanical components of an umbrella to look like branches and reusing coffee filters as leaves, Pfaff calls attention to nature’s destructive force and regenerative capability.
