THOMAS SCOTT

Thomas’ prints offer an insight into the life trajectory of trees and identifie similarities between their ''stories'' and our own individual life stories. His work is an example of how it is possible for artists to utilise modern CNC technology and traditional printmaking equipment and techniques to achieve unique work. Thomas invites the viewer to look at a tree’s biography, where periods of ‘’hardship’’ and abundance can be deciphered by looking closely at the variation of its growth rings over its lifetime. Whilst allured by the exercise of making sense of the lines revealed in the prints, the viewer may entangle the life trajectory of the tree with their own life story.

Currently, Thomas is exploring new methods of print making such as dry point intaglio in copper plates as well as traditional woodcut prints.

The pieces he is exhibiting in this Editions are inspired by ferns.
