Manuscripts in Progress: Joyce Scott

Joyce Scott, sister of the world-reknowned Outsider sculptor, Judith Scott, gave a reading from her manuscript, EnTwined, yesterday at a wonderful house of a friend in Kensington, California. It was attended by about fifty people.

EnTwined is the story of her life with her twin sister, Judy, who was born with Down Syndrome, and Judy's rise to fame later in life when she came to live in California and attended the Oakland art school called Creative Growth. Judy's large and colorful fiber sculptures have traveled the globe in exhibitions from Tokyo to Switzerland.

It is with great anticipation that we await the publication of this new book which Joyce has been writing for many years. The reading was touching, and had all of us on the verge of tears.
