Judy Onofrio: Deep Dive

on view June 29, 2024 - January 5, 2025

Judy Onofrio (American, b. 1939), Feast, 2020. Bone, wood, carved wood objects, metallic acrylic paint. 

Rochester, Minnesota’s Judy Onofrio creates larger than life sculptures that are covered with collaged bones, glass orbs, thousands of beads, and intricate glass mosaics. Her Baroque flourishes celebrate life’s color, matching perfectly with her sense of humor and creative spirit. It is through her accumulative process that Judy continues to push the boundaries of art and craft, especially how she shares the history that objects contain. The ambitious works in Deep Dive are inspired by underwater flora and fauna, while reflecting on her childhood and earliest memories of living near the ocean.

Judy Onofrio: Deep Dive is curated by Sioux City Art Center Curator, Christopher Atkins, with additional new, never before exhibited works.
