Maisha ya awali

[hariri | hariri chanzo]

Elizabeth Caldwell alizaliwa na Mary Jane na Samuel Caldwell, karibu na Chester, South Carolina, ambapo familia yake iliishi kama wafugaji kwenye shamba la Blackstock, kwenye ardhi ambayo babu na bibi yake walikuwa watumwa.[1][2] Alikuwa wa sita kati ya watoto kumi na wanne (kaka saba na dada saba) akiwa wa tatu wa kike.[3] Elizabeth alikulia katika familia ya mafundi ambao walifanya ufinyanzi, uchakataji wa chuma, vikapu, ushonaji. Walikuwa pia wasimulizi wa hadithi. Wazazi wake wote wawili walitengeneza shada, na Elizabeth alijifunza kufuma akiwa na umri wa miaka 9.[4] Baba yake alikuwa mfanyakazi wa reli ambaye alikusanya mabaki ya vitambaa katika safari zake, na alivipaka rangi kwa kutumia rangi za asili ambazo alitengeneza kutoka kwa matunda na udongo.[5] Mnamo 1940, wakati wa Uhamaji Mkubwa, Elizabeth alihamia kaskazini kwenda Baltimore, Maryland ili kuepuka ubaguzi na kutafuta fursa kubwa za kiuchumi.

Huko Baltimore, Elizabeth Talford Scott alifanya kazi kwa masaa mengi kama mtumishi wa nyumbani, mfanyakazi wa ndani, na mpishi, na akaacha kufuma kuanzia mnamo 1940 hadi mnamo 1970. Baada ya kustaafu kazi hizi zingine, Elizabeth alianza kazi tena, na mapema aliendeleza mtindo wake wa kipekee ambao uliongezeka juu ya utaftaji wa jadi ambao alikuwa amejifunza kutoka kwa familia yake.[6] Mbali na kazi ya vipande, mara nyingi ufumaji huu mpya ulijumuisha mapambo, kazi ya shanga, vito, nyavu za plastiki na vitu vilivyopatikana kama vile mawe, vifungo na susu. Mifumo yake ilibadilika na kuwa yenye uzito, mara nyingi hazifikiriwi na zenye usawa, na marejeleo ya mila ya kifamilia, hadithi za kibinafsi, na mazingira ya vijijini ya utoto wake.[7] Elizabeth mara kwa mara aliwasilisha warsha na maandamano, na mara nyingi alishirikiana na binti yake, msanii Joyce J. Scott, kuwaelimisha wanafunzi kuhusu ufundi wake.[4] Mifumo ya Elizabeth Talford Scott ilionyeshwa katika Chuo cha Sanaa Bora cha Pennsylvania,[8] Jumba la Sanaa la Walters,[9] Jumba la kumbukumbu la Sanaa la Baltimore,[10] na huko New York kwenye Jumba la kumbukumbu la Sanaa za Kibiblia,[11] Jumba la kumbukumbu la Studio ya Harlem, Jumba la kumbukumbu la Sanaa ya Watu wa Marekani, na Jumba la Sanaa la Metropolitan.[12]

Mnamo 1987, Scott alipokea Tuzo ya Mafanikio ya  Women's Caucus for Art Lifetime. Mnamo 1990, Elizabeth na binti yake walishirikishwa kwenye filamu ya The Silver Needle: The Legacy of Elizabeth and Joyce Scott.[13] Mnamo 1998, Chuo cha Sanaa cha Maryland kilikuwa na kumbukumbu ya kazi ya Scott, Eyewinkers, Tumbleturds na Candlebugs:The Art of Elizabeth Talford Scott, ambayo ilisimamiwa na George Ciscle. Maonyesho hayo yalisafiri hadi Jumba la kumbukumbu la Jamii la Anacostia la Smithsonian,[14] Kituo cha Kusini-Mashariki cha Sanaa ya Kisasa[15] na Jumba la kumbukumbu la New England Quilt.[16]

Kazi ya Elizabeth Talford Scott zinaweza kupatikana katika makusanyo kadhaa ya kibinafsi na makumbusho ikiwa ni pamoja na Jumba la kumbukumbu la Sanaa la Baltimore, Jumba la Sanaa la Delaware, Jumba la kumbukumbu la Sanaa la Philbrook, na kwenye maonyesho kwenye ghala la kisasa la Goya huko Baltimore, MD
