Spanish term

escultura en forma

Spanish to English Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
This is from a text about a Uruguayan woman sculptor:

Como cuenta Rodríguez en una nota periodística sobre nuestra artista, “en [1955] dejó de hacer escultura pues su marido pintaba escuchando música clásica y ella no quería romper la armonía con los golpes del martillo”. A partir de este momento se dedicó a hacer pintura, y solo tras la muerte de su compañero, en 1985, retomó la escultura en forma."

Is there any difference between "escultura" and "escultura en forma"?
Thanks

to philgoddard and wendy Wendy, you can ask me to delete those mentions if you prefer so. With the years and the nationality was really easy to discover the identity. Indeed, I believe it is not confidential or you would hide those data, but in case it is, please let me know.
philgoddard Jun 6, 2021:
Oscar I've asked Wendy several times to give us the artist's name in questions like this, but she hasn't responded. It can't be for confidentiality reasons, since we don't know who the client is. It's usually fairly easy to find out who the artist is, but we shouldn't have to.

Cabe la posibilidad de que no, y que se trate de una técnica.
Pero lo que se cuenta antes de que abandonó la escultura durante nada menos que 30 años invita a contarlo así.
Después de tres décadas sin esculpir no había perdido la buena forma.
Es algo que les pasa a muchos artistas.
Retoman una actividad después de años como si nada.
David Hollywood Jun 6, 2021:
no creo que sea " estar en forma"

ahí tenemos la clave
O G V Jun 6, 2021:
De quién se trata? Parece que Marcelo ya ha sacado el sentido como suele hacer.
Yo pensé en algo como estar en forma, de no haber perdido la forma, con energía. Pero no quise responderlo por si era una técnica especial.
He preguntado a alguien con mucha relación con la escultura y me pregunta quién es en concreto.
David Hollywood Jun 6, 2021:
this is a tricky one as the ST says "en forma" as opposed to "formal" so...
Muriel Vasconcellos Jun 5, 2021:
Several possible options It could mean three-dimensional sculpture:
A form is a three-dimensional figure — as opposed to a shape, which is two-dimensional, or flat. ... With sculpture, on the other hand, form is real because it takes up three-dimensional space.

Or the use of wire forms as the basis for the sculpture:
Pablo Picasso (1881 to 1973), Alexander Calder (1898 to 1976), and Julio Gonzalez (1876 to 1942) are some artists who created open form sculptures, made from wire and other materials. Jan 24, 2020

Or the use of molds:
A mold is the negative or hollow cavity produced around a sculpted piece for use in creating multiples of that piece. A cast is the positive or reproduction of the original piece of sculpture created by pouring casting material into a pre-formed mold.

agree David Hollywood : me too and maybe "she went back to serious sculpturing" but not "she took up"...means "she went back to"... de todas maneras la idea tuya es correcta

agree ormiston : You can take up skiing on retiring, i.e. for the first time David, no?

neutral philgoddard : But if it means 'went back to', surely that would be "retornó a'? And I think you need references.
