“Genesis touches upon the creative process itself, the ideas being very much about newness and creation,” said Scott. “It is a drawing which reflects my interest in mark-making with movement and energy. This piece transforms from fiery centers to fractal-like flames, interweaving in space, like glimpsing the birth of a star, in silence and awe, touching upon the joyful and mysterious.”
