A native of Ireland, Judge prefers to spend her time moving from corporate compound to motel pool. She currently has no fixed address.

 

Possessed of a restless spirit, she has explored many disciplines,

millinery among them, and maintains a studio in Dublin. It was in New York, submerged and stifled in the busiest of cities, that she made the first renderings for this current project.

 

Wendy divides her interests into several media: Millinery, Painting
and Film. In millinery, it is working with pure form and the plastic quality of sculpture that excites her. Her film work captures the spontaneity and speed of everyday life. The pleasures of process and concept are encapsulated in the paintings exhibited here.

 

The Works

These pieces are a response to city living and the controlled
environment: islands of grass within concrete planes, industrial milieus and the blank space that opposes "wilderness."

 

The multiple frames illustrate a junction of the flat and the piled
object. The canvases are interchangeable and can be assembled on a coffee table or rearranged at will. Stacked, rearranged, collapsed, the modular elements systematize and pixelate the North American landscape. A swimming pool may bleed into a dam or gravel driveway, depending on the disposition of the pictures.

 

"I'd like to get into hills and motorways," says Judge of possible future undertakings. "Car parks, too: they are the new corrals."
