Judith Scott, American

___

Judith Scott era uma escultora de fibras americana de renome internacional. Durante a infância, Judith sofria de Escarlatina, o que a levou a perder de audição. Em 1987, Judith foi matriculada no Creative Growth Art Center, em Oakland, Califórnia, que apoia pessoas com deficiências de desenvolvimento. Lá, Judith descobriu sua paixão e talento pela arte abstrata. Pegando quaisquer objetos que encontrasse, independentemente da propriedade, ela os embrulhava em fios coloridos cuidadosamente selecionados para criar diversas esculturas de diversas formas. Algumas se assemelham a casulos ou partes do corpo, enquanto outros são pólos totêmicos alongados. Muitos de seus trabalhos também se apresentavam em pares, refletindo a experiência de Scott como irmã gêmea. Em 2006, a cineasta de São Francisco Betsy Bayha lançou um documentário “Outsider: The Life and Art of Judith Scott”.  @creativegrowth @betsybayha

[ Judith Scott was an internationally renowned American fiber sculptor. During her infancy, Judith suffered from Scarlet Fever, which caused her to lose her hearing, a fact that remained unknown until much later on in her life. In 1987 Judith was enrolled at the Creative Growth Art Center in Oakland, California which supports people with developmental disabilities. There, Judith discovered her passion and talent for abstract. Taking whatever objects she found, regardless of ownership, she would wrap them in carefully selected colored yarns to create diverse sculptures of many different shapes. Some resemble cocoons or body parts, while others are elongated totemic poles. Many of her works also feature pairs, reflecting Scott's experience as a twin. In 2006, San Francisco filmmaker Betsy Bayha released the documentary “Outsider: The Life and Art of Judith Scott”. ]

And a whole tangle of #JudithScott Congrats again to @Catherinejmorris @Catherinemorris, #sacklercenterforfemisitart and @brooklynmuseum - without their brilliant groundbreaking show of her work I doubt she would be getting the attention she so well deserves #venicebiennale #venicenbiennale2017 #brooklynmuseum (at Biennale d'Arte Contemporanea - Giardini)

After experimenting with the weave and its interpretation I decided to look further into my own protective layers. My initial response when asking myself what my biggest protective layer was, was my family. I chose to layer images of family members over each other using my generation over the youngest generation. I used photographs, tracing paper and colour cellophane.

Whilst looking at protective layers I came across artist Judith Scott. She works with materials like wool and string and wraps everyday objects in them until they are sometimes unrecognisable anymore. They suggest a form of protection of the object she is covering. This helped me look at protective layers differently in a sense that they don’t have to be exact forms of a protective layer of something/someone but merely a suggestion enables you to create your own ‘protective layer’ idea.

“To wrap something may be an act of protection, an attempt to hide or conceal, like wrapping up in winter clothes, or a baby wrapped up in its mother’s womb. That which has been wrapped is safe, contained, and warm. Looking at Scott’s finished sculptures, one often has to guess what the objects hidden inside actually are. The gesture of wrapping is of primary importance. Like the drip paintings of Jackson Pollock, or the meticulous and meditative grids of Agnes Martin, Scott’s work serves as a portrayal of human action.”  (cordella magazine, 2018)

"With that title, 'Bound and Unbound,' I think about the physicality of [Judith Scott] working. You have a little documentary about Judith Scott on your website, and I watched that, so I kept seeing the pictures of her working. I think me bending down is my trying to imagine the process of making and seeing—having multiple perspectives. When you get closer, you see something else about a potential narrative or how the process could fuel the content." — BKM Visitors (and twin sisters), Karyn & Karla on the recent #judithscott exhibition.

At the heart of our mission, the Brooklyn Museum strives to connect artworks in our diverse permanent collection and special exhibitions with the unique experience of each visitor. With each installation, we are interested in how works of art resonate with you—what questions they spark, what interpretations they inspire. Through #BKMDraw, a series of conversations with visitors paired with illustrations of the artworks that catch their eye, we will highlight the voices of our visitors and capture snippets of the conversations that enliven our galleries. 

MCR I noticed you taking a photograph ofone of Judith Scott’s sculptures. What drew you to that piece? Karyn It feels both universal and specific, contemporaryand also historic. There’s something about it that reminds me of Shinique Smith and her work, and then I started thinking about “Unmonumental”and how this should have been in the Unmonumental show that was at the New Museum. I was also drawn to the colors. It feels very inventive, but alsointuitive. I wasn’t expecting to be this amazed by [Judith Scott’s work]. I assumed it would be very formal, and compositionally interesting, but it resonates beyond the visual aesthetic. It is hard to say one specific thing that I’m drawn to. MCR Definitely, and I saw you were squatting to get a closer look. Karyn With that title, “Bound and Unbound,” I think about the physicality of [Judith Scott] working. You have a little documentary about Judith Scott on your website, and I watched that, so I kept seeing the pictures of her working. I think me bending down is my trying to imagine the process of making and seeing—having multiple perspectives. When you get closer, you see something else about a potential narrative or how the process could fuel the content. Karla [Karyn’s twin sister] Are you putting yourself in her shoes because you make things? MCR Karyn, you make art, as well? Karla Yes! She’s a professor at Temple. Karyn When you look at this, you think about a shopping cart. At once, it’s filled with groceries, but then it can also look like a body. The pale tonality feels sort of corpse-like. From far away, you have one impression. Then you come closer, and all of a sudden, other little worlds are happening. Karla Now, it’s disturbing—thanks for bringing that to my attention! [Laughs]
