London based American artist Andrew Pierce Scott normally creates sculptures made from found metal… so how on earth did we arrive at these fabulous tapestries?
“… his textile still-life compositions [20”x30”ish] were born from amassing scraps of fabric discarded by students in RCA’s fashion programs. “It basically started as a procrastination during my finals,” he says, “I saw this scrap of fabric that looked like fish scales, another like a tabletop. And it grew from there.” Scott allows his imagination to be guided by the textures and colours of the scraps – and their potential to represent something completely different in an incongruous dimension.” ~ Excerpt from interview with AnOther Magazine
Ah, happy accidents that lead to an entirely new creative path! I LOVE THAT. You can find Andrew on Instagram at @andrewpiercescott.
Okay, I was going to put up the first image… but then I found the butterfly who told me it’s okay to try again tomorrow, so clearly I had to share both! These wise words are from Meg Fatharly aka @printcessmeg, and they’re speaking to me. I’ve been really focusing on playing, experimenting, letting go, and just HAVING FUN. We can’t pour from an empty cup, right? Right.
Happy Monday ~ Danielle
