This collection was inspired by the story of Judith Scott, the artist who didn’t give up. Scott was a visual artist who was born with Down syndrome and had deafness; as a result, she was secluded from outside influences. In the 18 years Scott was active as an artist, she never repeated any artwork shape or color scheme. Scott’s work included long lengths of knotted cloth or yarn and creating mixed media sculptures. i interprets this process as the artist’s way of holding onto everything around her because she cannot speak, and this is her way of expressing her feelings. i has noticed that when it comes to artists with disabilities like Scott, they tend to push through significant obstacles and rarely give up. This perseverance is something that i finds so beautiful and inspiring, something I worked into this collection.
