Storage

Judith Shea initially worked as a fashion designer. Later, she began making figurative sculptures, a radical idea in the avant-garde world of abstract art. Storage includes a hollow coat and dress, motifs that Shea uses frequently in her work. Shea stated, "They lean propped up against the wall essentially as if forgotten or stored. The truncated clothing forms provided an essence-no extremities, no movement; it was a way to express the essence of human presence."
