Brian Scott's totem pieces especially are cleverly accessible. Drawing attention through surprising color, like glints of treasure happened upon in the sunlight. From there the nuances of texture and materials keep the viewer engaged.
"I feel I am connecting with something ancient as I'm creating, and the sense of that connection is translated into my pieces," Scott says. "They appear to have a story writ-ten within that has been weathered over stages. Beyond my hands, the work continues to have a life of its own. They become marked and altered through time; it's not linear or predictable.

Persephone Post Industrial is 10' tall and divided into three sections, segmented into 2, 3 and 4 sections. The blue shades of the glass is contracted by the rustic bloodwood panels.
The Magpie perched on top of the top panel is not part of the sculpture, however, I am very pleased to have captured it on film; enjoying the sunny day.
