BIOGRAPHY
JUDY WOODBORNE
(b. 1966, Cape Town, South Africa)
Judy Woodborne is a printmaker and painter. Intrigued by symbolism, mythologies, literature, and the natural sciences she uses these themes as inspiration and reference in her works. Woodborne re-thinks printmaking and its multiple nature, due to editions, by using the varying techniques to create dimensional paper sculptures, each one unique and not necessarily part of an edition. The engagement with natural sciences appears in her paintings wherein the artists is interested in the water not just as element but as a signifier and representation for other matters of time, death, birth, and re-incarnation.
Born in Cape Town, Woodborne runs her own printmaking studio. She received her BA Fine Arts from Michaelis School of Fine Art, UCT, in 1988; a postgraduate advanced diploma with distinction in Printmaking, UCT, in 1989 and her Master of Fine Arts at Michaelis, in 1993 with distinction. Recent solo exhibitions include The Anatomy of the World, in 2018 and Imaginarium, Metamorphosis and Mythology, in 2021 both at Lizamore & Associates, Johannesburg. Group exhibitions include Art on Paper, Kalk Bay Modern and Phantasmagoria: an exhibition curated by Woodborne for Riebeek Kasteel Contemporary Summer Exhibition.
Her work is held in multiple local and international collections including the IZIKO South African National Gallery in Cape Town and the Smithsonian Institution (The National Museum of African Art) in Washington.
