Collectors tray and artist’s book




to bend or to turn, references ways in which samples are collected and presented. Raw material sits within a handmade collector’s tray alongside an artist’s book of watercolour paints that were painstakingly transformed from that same material. The work draws on Scott’s own collection of natural materials gathered within East Lothian and items held within the Centre for Research Collections that she chose for their shared referencing of natural materials and belief that tactile exploration sparks curiosity and enables learning.
