Thomas Scott
Tom’s prints offer an insight into the life trajectory of trees and identifies likeness between their stories and our own.
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.
Tom invites the viewer to look at the tree’s biography where periods of hardship and abundance can be deciphered by looking at the thickness and space between its growth rings (dendrochronology).
Whilst allured by the exercise of trying to make sense of the lines revealed from the timber, the viewer may entangle the life trajectory of the tree with their own.
Having graduated in Product Design from Univercidade – Rio de Janeiro, Brazil in 2010, Tom has recently merged his experience as a woodworker, design technician and educator with printmaking since receiving A VACMA (visual arts and craft makers award) in 2021 which allowed him to immerse in printmaking techniques at the DCA Print Studio in Dundee, Scotland.
