Judith Hoffman's photostream  

Hi, I’m Judith Hoffman. I have been making things since I was a kid. I didn’t take myself seriously until I was in my 30’s and decided to go to art school. It was a good time for me – “I have to do my homework” is a great excuse to make art.

Now I use a variety of techniques to make artist’s books and other objects, like pinhole cameras.

My current project is making a series of pinhole cameras, taking photos with the cameras, and making artist’s books that hold the photos. Making these cameras allows me to see into another world. I can look into the late Cretaceous and watch dinosaurs walk about. I can see into my dreams, and revisit memories.

Some of my cameras are made of metal, mostly brass and copper. Oneiro was made from an old tin box that was lying around. And I have another camera in the works that is made from an Altoids tin, the Zymo 127.

The home page of my website has current news about my work.
There are links to blog posts about my sources of inspiration here.
