Judith Brown 12/17/31 - 5/11/92 was a 20th century sculptor and artisan who created wearable statement jewelry in silver and brass. Judith Brown was drawn to images of the body in motion and its effect on the cloth surrounding it. She worked in a range of mediums and at one point in her career welded crushed automobile scrap metal into energetic moving torsos, horses and flying draperies.
