Judith Shea - Approaching the Figurative with a Sense of Humor
Judith Shea (born 1948) started as a fashion designer, then she became a Minimalist sculptor. After stages in Italy and Mexico her art evolved towards questioning what should be today the meaning of Figurative, and not only: questioning the whole history of sculpture.
You'd be surprised, but I think there is some resemblance with the universe of de Chirico.

To the Coat in Bronze
sculpted by Judith Shea
Are you from my past,
my father's coat, rigid and hard,
from which I escaped,
squeezing just barely
out through the slot?
Or do you remain as his
coat of protection
around me, those
indestructible walls
he wished to erect around
most of my life?
Are you something of mine
that I wore long ago
that no longer fits,
now abandoned to fate?
I suppose you're my future
patiently waiting,
watching me dance
these free dances of my later years,
waiting to take me
in one last embrace
close and hard
before we both melt into mist,
into the ether
with no form at all!
