Mr. Scott

Oil on wood canvas.

48x24"

“Mr. Scott” is the very first piece created in the studio. This piece pays homage to Mr. Scott, who was known in the neighborhood as a wood craftsman. Neighbors mentioned he made several different furniture items for them over the years. The wood in this piece is from Mr. Scott’s wood workshop. I have since removed Mr. Scott’s workshop but I thought it was only fitting to use wood from his shop in some of the very first pieces I created in the studio that has been built in place of the shop. Doing so also merges what once was with what is now standing in its place with a continued legacy of being creative and rediscovering that past.
