Judith

Librach

Artist, Educator, Community Organizer

“As a multidisciplinary artist, I explore ways of knowing through materially embodied narratives in natural ecologies, using them as frameworks to critically examine the body as land. Foraging urban and natural environments for materials and inspiration, I collect plants, minerals, and fungi to make pigments, as well as found objects for collage. My art contemplates the interplay between the self and place within a paradigm of transformation.”
