#JudithScott began making art at age 46, producing an extraordinary body of idiosyncratic sculptural assemblages in a career spanning just seventeen years. Scott worked assiduously @creativegrowth, a studio-based program in Oakland, California, founded to support artists with developmental disabilities. Scott’s life experience as an artist with Down syndrome who was also deaf and did not speak highlights the limitations of the conventional art-historical canon. Moving beyond the term “outsider artist,” critics and curators have recently contextualized her objects within mainstream modern and contemporary art history, telling a richer, more complex story about how artistic gifts can be nurtured and compelling works of art can be made. #5WomenArtists #HalfthePictureBKM⁣⠀

[BIHAKUEN]UVシールド(UVShield)

janjamm This one seems unique from her other work that combines many textures, colors, and materials. It seems to be compressed but without the ropes, yarn, threads of her other work. Monochromatic and powerful.

marieellen19 I remember reading about her. She understood something about art & creativity at a very intuitive & deep level. She could see it. & she had an understanding of materials & process. Truly remarkable.

k.r.s_photos I love this post and her work too. More time/exhibition space should be awarded to the older generation, untrained and unskilled. No more biases on age, gender etc.

daphadil I remember seeing her work for the first time at BK Museum. She’s been one of my favorite artists ever since!

evidencedesignbk When individuals - of all abilities- are given the chance to express their gifts - you find treasure.

arey_vintagesue I love 💕 everything about this post and Judith’s work! What an inspiration!
