OLIVEIRA, Solange de. Cocoons: about the secrets of Judith Scott. Ide (São Paulo) [online]. 2015, vol.38, n.60, pp. 113-126. ISSN 0101-3106.

This paper proposes a reflection about an aesthetic experience in the process of making and the interpretation of the Judith Scott's work. She is an artist considered outsider or brut. Her work is marginal. It's a free and anarchic work, whose spontaneous and disengaged process resist to a normative submission. The artist brings up a life experience through her threads hidden or whispered by wires, that is, kept in secret. Her objects require an artistic making up that meets the completeness and indeterminacy claimed by it, which is able to attend the infinite capacity of mobilization that this work challenges us. Thus, interpreting this collection is engaged with their woven webs. The reflective exercise requested by this work is an important knowledge tool and it does not only allude the aesthetics experience of the outsider artistic work, but also of the critical examination which is required to us about certain criteria that containts inside the art system. The Judith Scott's work invited us to this careful reflection.
