Joyce J. Scott
"This essential retrospective of genre-defying artist and MacArthur Fellow Joyce J. Scott (b. 1948) showcases her expansive and versatile career. From early textiles and wearables, to performances and public artworks, to celebrated beaded sculptures and signature necklaces, her innovative oeuvre centers on the ancient, global technologies of needle and thread, beadwork, salvage, song, and storytelling. Interviews with Scott and essays from an extraordinary group of artists and scholars explore this dynamic practice, rooted in place, community, and intergenerational knowledge. Extensive new photography and rich archival images reveal a dazzling, provocative body of work that makes difficult subjects intimately felt, confronting racism, sexism, classism, ableism, and histories of trauma through wearable art and exquisite sculpture. With humor and pathos, Scott twists menacing stereotypes into grotesque and tender retorts that spur conversation and reflection, grief and laughter, learning and healing."--Back cover.

Joyce J. Scott Journeys
"[Joyce J. Scott is] a visual and performance artist because it's [her] best voice as a human. It allows interaction, sometimes masked, even scabrous, in ways polite society finds uncomfortable. [Scott's] work is not meant to be openly offensive. [She] skirt[s] the borders between comedy, pathos, delight and horror. [She] invite[s] the viewer to laugh at our collective self. Humans are hilariously treacherous."--From artist's statement
