The most shocking thing for me was that she was wearing no ppe, which was kind of amazing, but I was nervous for her because she was welding close to her hand (with no gloves) and no eye protection at all. I like how she has such a close relationship with tools, I think a… Continue reading Katie Skinner – Judy Pfaff Writing

Judy Pfaff in “Romance” I really liked Judy’s artwork, and I thought it was super interesting how she was originally a painter, but found a love for sculpture and mostly pursues that medium now. When she came to America from London, she was very “unruly” and explained how she hated school. She went on to… Continue reading Case – Judy Pfaff Art21

There was a lot to reflect on in these three artists’ work. I thought that Judy Pfaff’s progression into the sculpture work was interesting– she used to paint, and then her professor encouraged her to try something new, and now she’s welding (by the way I felt extreme anxiety watching her weld without gloves on).… Continue reading Olivia S.P.– Reflection For Judy Pfaff, Liz Magic Laser, and Jeff Koons

I thought it was interesting to get the behind the scenes of Judy Pfaff’s exhibition. I enjoyed understanding the reasons and meaning behind her sculptures. Loss is something everyone can connect to at some point in their lives and it’s a difficult thing to experience. Seeing Pfaff’s interpretation of death is really compelling, and the… Continue reading Aidan LH Art21 Judy Pfaff

Judy Pfaff explains her, large-scale installations that blur the line between sculpture, painting, and architecture in the video “Romance” (October 28, 2007). For Pfaff, art-making is a physical and intuitive process that embraces both structure and spontaneity. I like how her work therefore combines many organic shapes and industrial materials. I enjoyed the way she… Continue reading Nina Kent – ARt21 – Pfaff

One thing I found interesting was that Pfaff claimed that she was never interested in becoming a sculptor. Being a painter first, she was inspired by artists like Elizabeth Murray and was deterred by welding because of their dirty, alcoholic associations. But when she began with her first welder, she noted that she got a… Continue reading Kaitlyn Segreti – Art21 Pfaff reflection

I found it very interesting how he and Adam Savage both talked a little about how ‘blue collared’ jobs and skills are a dying craft and I completely agree. There is much more that I want to say about that but what I mainly connected that to is that I have found that people cannot… Continue reading Katie Skinner – Tom Sachs Writing

I watched the Tom Sachs interview with Adam Savage and found it really interesting how Sachs first got into using machinery in college. Growing up, his parents weren’t big on drills or tools, but once he started taking classes, his interest in them really took off. I like how all the art pieces he created… Continue reading Tom Sachs Writing-Riley
