Judy Pfaff's Show in Portsmouth

If anyone wants to escape reality of the New England winter run to the show. It is phenomenal. I went with my talented friend Kris Lanzer. She is a great artist in our own right.


Judy Pfaff’s installation is of water rising and also receding, themes of the sea, ice, especially Icelandic—Smokkfiskur, the Icelandic word for “squid”, serves up mysteries that hint at submerged life counterbalanced by life made newly visible.

For me personally/ the show brought me back to my childhood in the 70s, with Light Brite, candy necklaces, plastic beaded fruit, and homemade Stain-glass art projects baked in our oven. The New England tired neutrals are alongside neon brights, which triggered all of those brightly colored kids crafts from the 70s in my youth.
