I’ve always been very inspired by the work of Judith Scott after seeing her work at the American Visionary Art Museum years ago. Her work has a strong presence, as the objects, she’s woven together tell a story about her life. Scott’s way of working was also a way of communication with the world as she was non-verbal. I could stare at her work and always find something new, hidden beneath the surface. Scott was working with what she had available. The repetitive act of scavenging, collecting, weaving, cocooning and concealing objects is something I can relate to in my work. I feel that working with objects in this way allows me to process the world and transform the way we think about our everyday moments. Objects unite us as humans.
Here is a great article with so many images and information about Scott’s work and background. https://art21.org/read/biography-is-complicated/
