Mark Scott-Wood is fascinated by material and process. He works mostly with found objects. He uses these objects by applying texture and concept in a way evocative of childhood or early teenage resourcefulness. This can range from sculpture and painting through to performance and events. The processes he employs are eclectic including pulping paper, firing ceramics or appliquéing fabrics. Although he has a love of craft, the work is intended to challenge and address many aspects of current contemporary art practice through the use of more traditional techniques. With this in mind, the work often appears deceptively obvious but demands further attention. It is this playful nature of the work that he takes pleasure in developing.
