Scott arrived with her mother, Elizabeth Talbot Scott, at Pyramid’s Riverdale location for a creative day of exploring large scale monoprints with Helen Frederick. As Scott printed, her mother cut flowers from various magazines. These flower images became the edge design for the figurative works. Over eight monoprints were made and printed with the photographic flowers by silicone intaglio plates in various sweetened colors that are in juxtaposition to the intensity of the Scott’s figurations. The titles allude to hunger and other bodily harm/issues that Scott often employs in her activist works.

Scott is a well-known MacArthur Foundation awardee, who is primarily represented by Goya Gallery (Baltimore, MD). Scott was one of the earliest artists to work in the original Pyramid Prints and Paperworks studio, located in downtown Baltimore near the train station in the early eighties.

Printers: Trish Tillman, Bridget Lambert
