Judy Pfaff | Childhood Love
When I was in high school, I remember thinking that if I ever became an awesome fine artist, I wanted to share similar rankings with Kara Walker, Kiki Smith, and Judy Pfaff (there's quite a few more, but they're listed in the top 10).

However, interestingly enough, I am 3-dimensionally-challenged—yet two out of my three fave inspirations are sculptresses. I think it's one of those things where people admire and love things that also double as a great weakness in their own skill set (e.g. loving fashion, but ignorant to actual construction).

But I'm also not a huge fan of 3-D works. Sometimes I don't understand it and call bullshit when I see it. So it's very rare for me to appreciate a grand installation or bust during occasional gallery visits. Obviously, Pfaff is part of a select few who won my heart. It must be love.

Pfaff's work is currently featured (through October 16) at Ameringer-Yohe gallery in NYC. Should be a doozy.
