Judy Pfaff Is Light Years Ahead of the Curve

When I learned about Light Years, Judy Pfaff's debut exhibition at Cristin Tierney Gallery, I thought about what makes her work stand out to me. Pfaff, whose last solo show at a New York gallery was in 2019, has always assembled her sculptures out of diverse materials, from the store-bought and found to the fabricated. In Light Years, we encounter plastic flowers and fruit, a birds' and a wasps' nest, recycled plastic carpets, polyurethane foam, steel tubing, and LED and neon light.
