"My drawings investigate the ambiguity of space. Whether inspired by built form or natural context, my art is constructed of an armature of light. Light, atmosphere, or fog is engaged in dematerializing the architectural elements depicted. This treatment creates a spatial disconnect with an ambiguity of depth and motion. The prismatic light makes the drawings feel like they are woven into the space of the paper itself."

"This is literally deconstruction, fragmenting the world into its component parts, and then reassembling it to give it new form and meaning. It achieves the kind of complexity that is sometimes easier to obtain by chance than by design. It takes a certain amount of courage and reliance on serendipity to produce two original drawings, then destroying both in the hopes of producing something better. How many previous and unsuccessful attempts Scott made with this technique we don’t know, but it most definitely works here."
