Steven Scott (b. 1955 London) is a Copenhagen-based artist whose work revolves around the rich complexities of light. The main essay is penned by the art and design historian Lisa Hockemeyer. This volume takes one on a journey through Steven Scotts light art works and installations of the past forty years and covers his development in the London/NYC Avant Garde theatre and dance scene of the late seventies and into the 1980s. Originally a founder, board member and designer at the influential London theatre and arts centre Riverside Studios between 1976-1986, Scott had extensive experience in theatre design and sculpture before turning to the creation of light art some 25 years ago. The period set the tone for a career that has moved freely between fine art, theatre and architecture. Central to Scotts work is his rich appreciation of light and its interaction with people and space. As a master of this elusive medium, Scotts pieces make reference to the rhythms of the day with works that gradually change colour over time - marking the natural and seasonal cycles.
