Jody Pinto

Jody Pinto is a New York-based environmental artist known for large-scale public works that connect human anatomy to natural systems. Her practice, often described as body/land, draws parallels between veins and rivers, bones and terrain. With more than 50 public commissions across the United States, Israel, and Japan, her work includes Fingerspan (1987), a weathering steel footbridge shaped like a bent finger in Philadelphia's Wissahickon Valley Park. She founded Women Organized Against Rape (WOAR) in 1972 and taught sculpture at the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts for four decades.
