Judith Scott was an American artist [1943 – 2005). She was a deaf mute with Downs syndrome who became known for her creativity which was expressed in wrapped figures and forms.
I find her wrapped forms so expressive , tightly encased, trapped and yet bright and colourful. I envisage an army of wrapped female forms, each encased in the binds of expectations, consumerism, gender roles, all the cultural traditions that circle round and round. The expectations of feminism of the 70s reduced to pink princesses and side boobs. Low pay and temporary employment.
