Both a constant observer and interpreter of the natural world, Scott’s artwork represents the poetic intersection of her interests in art and science.  Reflecting back over her creation of this series entitled nightwatch, Scott remarks:  “As daylight fails, our world changes; the things we know to ‘be’ withdraw; colors fade, shapes merge, edges blur, sky slips into dusky ‘not quite black’ hues, and stars, invisible by day, pierce the dark. A parallel world emerges, one that is vast and deep, mysterious and primal, set in darkness –  the world at night.”

Scott’s alluring and magical nighttime interpretations  of this “parallel world” of the dark will be on exhibit from Sept. 1-28 with an  opening reception on Thursday, September 1 from 5-7p.m.  The gallery is located at 51 Green Street and is open accessible to the public from 9a.m. to 3p.m. on Mondays through Fridays.
