Artist’s Statement

Growing up in eastern Washington gave me a deeply-branded visual memory that continues to be a strong source of imagery for my work.  There is both clarity and mystery in that geography, with its seemingly endless spaces, sparse vegetation and often abrupt transitions from one geologic element to another.  Light fills and illuminates these spaces as it plays off the land in endless variation.

Peoples’ marks on these landscapes are especially obvious.  Roads, buildings, and fields form strong counterpoints to the natural landscape.  The eye is drawn to these kinds of elements, whether it is the verticality of grain elevators set against a flat field, a straight road or fence running through the land’s undulations, or an abandoned building.   These marks can also suggest a history or narrative, and allow for individual interpretation in the mind of the viewer.

As experiences, these landscapes can evoke feelings of loneliness and apprehension, as well as peaceful feelings of solitude and freedom, and it is within those emotions, and in their inherent contradictions, that the work is set.

Please contact me about other available work, commissioned work, and future exhibits.

Scott played key roles in the development of Tacoma’s Union Station District: first, from 1992 to its completion in 1996, as the Associate Architect for the Washington State History Museum (with Moore/Andersson Architects of Austin, Texas); and, from 1998 to its completion in 2002 as the Executive Architect for the Tacoma Art Museum (with Antione Predock Architect of Albuquerque, New Mexico). Scott will speak about the widely divergent architectural responses to the historic fabric explored in these two major works, and the range of successful strategies cities can take in developing an authentic sense of civic space.
