The "hanger project"
was an Artist's Challenge sponsored by the
City of Santa Clarita, California. The City
commissioned 6 artists to select a store
from the Town Center Mall and then create a
piece of art using their own choice of
items from the store. I chose the Black
Cow, White Market women’s store. All of
their clothing is black and white.
My design consisted of 120 hangers, each
one painted half white, half black. They
spiral upward on a 60" metal rod.
"Black and White
Cascade"
Over 50 individually
hand painted hangers were used
in this 4 foot tall piece.
Scott typically creates
sculpture from found objects,
milled lumber, and copper.
Much of his work includes curved
wood which is retrieved from
lumber retailers in warped
condition, and then is heated
and bent further for a dramatic
affect. Douglas fir is
used predominately due to its
bending tendency.
