Judith Brown (sculptor)

Judith Brown (December 17, 1931 – May 11, 1992) was an American dancer and a sculptor who was drawn to images of the body in motion and its effect on the cloth surrounding it.

She welded crushed automobile scrap metal into energetic moving torsos, horses, and flying draperies.

After all, you can't bring you're welding gear with you to Rome.

"[2] Brown attended Sarah Lawrence College in Yonkers, New York (B.A., 1954), where she learned to weld from her teacher, Theodore Roszak, a pioneering abstract expressionist sculptor.
