Judy Hoffman is an American artist living and working in New York City. Hoffman’s work, which includes installation, sculpture, and artist books, explores themes of birth, decay, waste, and regeneration. Combining disparate elements of industrial refuse, natural debris and handmade paper, she constructs microcosms, ecosystems, and other natural formations.
“Her fascination with making things is evident in the magical way that she combines and constructs disparate elements. Hoffman sees the potential for abject scavenged objects to become something else. It’s as if a crumpled piece of wire calls out to her from the sidewalk, ‘I’m lively. Take me. I could be something,’” wrote Jennifer McGregor, curator at Wave Hill in Bronx, New York.
Hoffman’s environmental installations bring a wildness to manmade spaces. Her site specific installation venues in New York City include Wave Hill, Ceres Gallery, Nutureart, Proteus Gowanus, Kentler International Drawing Center and the Nathan Cummings Foundation; Rutgers and Jersey City Universities, New Jersey; Mary Grove College, Detroit; and the Bienalle Bonn/Frauen Museum and Kunstler Forum in Bonn, Germany.
Hoffman’s artist books are sculpted from handmade paper. Her Wild Book, Tree and Leaf Text series are improvisations on the structures of plant and animal life. They are included in the special collections at Yale University, Rhode Island School of Design and Long Island University libraries, the Brooklyn Museum, the Alan Chasnanoff Bookworks Collection, and the Sackner Archive of Concrete and Visual Poetry.
Hoffman attended the New York Studio School and received her B.A. from Grinnell College. She is a recipient of grants from the and the Brooklyn Arts Council. Hoffman lives and works in Brooklyn, New York.

Attica is a thrash band who consisted of pre Nirvana drummer Aaron "Boo Boo" Burckhard, guitarist Jim "Liggy" Lingnau, and Gary Ronald Kohler a.k.a. "The Gimp", RIP (2015). Formed around 1988, they played mostly keggers and local Grays Harbor area shows, with a few shows in Olympia, Tacoma and Seattle. Their hits were "DHT, "Crack Attik", "Crypt to Casket", and "Jon Bon Jovi has AIDS".
They liked to party and usually had a large entourage of intoxicated crew in tow who were well known for performing DHT, a version of wreaking havoc known locally as "Drunken Hell Thrash". DHT was a destructive mosh with band members leaving the stage mid song to join their friends in breaking things or fighting each other. There are a few recordings and video footage circulating somewhere. The band broke up around 1991 due to members' personal technical difficulties.
