In this award-winning film, Judith Scott creates body-like sculptures from found
objects. Judith has Down syndrome, is deaf, and does not speak. These
sculptures are her most complex means of communication. Judith had become a
famous ‘outsider artist,’ proving the power of artistic expression and the
importance of a loving family.
Outsider: The Life and Art of Judith Scott is a documentary that transports viewers into a realm that is little seen and even less understood — the creative and personal life of an «Outsider» artist. The film ventures from to the studio where Judith creates every day and the group home where she lives in Berkeley to museums and art galleries around the world where Judith’s sculptures are exhibited and where her work is increasingly in demand. We revisit Judith’s birthplace in Cincinnati and the institutions where Judith spent most of her life. Outsider: The Life and Art of Judith Scott delves deeply into the life of a compelling, eccentric and talented individual who has survived in the face of daunting odds.
