With limited research and extensive experimentation, Scott behaves like an obsessed scientist on a quest for new pigment properties.
He powders local coloured stones in a coffee grinder to form a palette of ochres. Recently, he dry-fried ochre found on a riverbed and discovered a unique burnt umber, a pigment used on some of his latest works on paper.

Scott boils barks, leaves and mosses to leach organic dyes.
He crushes native berries to produce a surprising array of watery washes and grinds and boils sap to form thick syrups and diluted tints.
Even the kitchen plays a small role in his work, with beetroot juice and coffee washes featuring in some of his latest pieces.

  • I love your use of the natural pigments. Thank you for sharing about making and using them. I am interested in your use of paper as well as wood. Can you give some advice on using paper...tips and tricks, what kind of paper, and resources of additional information. Thanks and your pieces are exceptional.

  • There is something ancient and alchemical about your vision... the natural world emerges with a wild dignified beauty in your work which resonates with something deep within me. Stunning!
