"Born in 1958 in the Catskill Mountains of New York, Judith Hoyt has been making art from found metal and paper collage for
over thirty years.
Judith’s process is a dialectic one, between her and the materials
she collects. This material is discolored, corroded and misshapen by
the random process of history and intuitively arranged to take shape as a
composition. It has been said about Judith’s work that it, “...looks as
though in the melding of collage elements, the alchemy of art
transmuted the individual parts into a new whole.”
Her work is
included in the collections of the Guggenheim Museum (New York),
Pennsylvania Academy of Arts (Philadelphia), The Smithsonian Museum,
(Washington, DC), and the Racine Art Museum (Racine, Wisconsin)."
