i'm sure judy pfaff needs no introduction to this art savvy crowd. i'm blown away by her monumental installations and what attracts me to them is not just her uncanny affinity for putting materials together, but the fact that she does it in such a way that makes perfect compositional sense. i marvel at her collages for the same reason.
