“My images try to capture those indivisible instances connecting the past and future illuminating moments that puncture into the fabric of time. Im thankful for these experiences and the opportunity to render their ageless messages.”

Scott was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan and moved to Rochester, New York in 1971. In 1983 he studied Audiovisual Technology at Monroe Community College graduating in 1985 with honors. Scott’s work was shown at the 1985, 1988 and 1996 Regional Finger Lakes Exhibition at the Memorial Art Gallery (Rochester, New York) and was twice selected for the “Best of Photography Annual sponsored by Photographer’s Forum Magazine. Also, his photography has been featured in a number of galleries, including 3 different showings (2019, 2016 & 2015) at the Bausch & Lomb Rotating Art Program in Rochester, NY and 171 Cedar Arts Center in Corning, New York. His work is also a part of a private collection owned by Corning Inc./SCC plant.

3D PhotoSculptures

What makes Scott’s photography unique is that all photographs are executed in a technique he describes as 3D PhotoSculpture. First the images are printed at least two or three times. Then the photographs are hand-cut, layered and glued back together again to create depth. In general, there are no tricks, filters or special lighting techniques.His photographs have been called painterly in that they transcend the limitations of regular photography, especially through the composition of colors, textures, shapes, and designs of objects in their found state.

The AtmaSpheres Collection

Although each abstract piece has a title that indicates Scott’s interpretation, he has found that each viewer sometimes brings his or her own unique vision to the image, much like the Rorschach (ink blot) test.

All images from the AtmaSpheres Collection are created in the digital domain. Many general techniques may include layering, collage, the distorting of shapes and colors as well as the alteration of geometric skeletons by pushing, pulling, prodding and multiplying their parts. Each piece is unique in its construction and approach. When the image is complete, it is then rendered by way of a dye-infused aluminum process. This particular type of process gives the image a gem-like quality, almost as though it were lit from within, much like light streaming through a stained glass window.
