Judy Pfaff creates sprawling sculptures and installations that can be viewed as three-dimensional drawings. Her sculptures, which are often composed of steel, fiberglass, plaster, and/or found materials, often give the illusion of weightlessness with forms dramatically extending from the wall into the viewer's space.
