:The physicality and materiality of sculpting in stone suited artist Diana Scott but during her master's year at art school she explored painting and sanding aluminium in layers, using the same tools she had used as a sculptor.
The line you never wrote, an exhibition of Scott's recent works can now be viewed at JB Contemporary, 14 Lowe Street. With two tools, and angle grinder and diamond sanding pad, Scott creates layers of shifting surface patterns striated with line. Layers advance and recede with shifts in the light or viewer's standpoint. says Scott.
The artist also sometimes includes glass her works.
“There's a linearity in metal and glass,” she says of her drawing, space and light-based works.
“I try to use the material for what the materials bring. I want the works to be atmospheric.”
