UNTITLED (COCOON)

Fiber artist Judith Scott (1943-2005) is renowned for her intricately wrapped sculptures that transform everyday found objects into cocoon-like abstracted forms. Delicately and carefully enveloping her chosen supports with layers of yarn, cloth and other fibers, Scott’s sculptures reveal a painstakingly caring and laborious process through which she engaged with and interpreted the world around her. Born with Down Syndrome, the artist lost her hearing early in life. She joined Creative Growth and artmaking became her main method of communication and her legacy.
