Scott Hazard born in San Diego,
California has made quite a name for himself.
A graduate of both architecture and are, Scott emerges the two together
to construct his own signature work.
The process to which Scott achieves
his photo’s is unique in itself. These
pieces of art are composed by layering images or pages. Once the layering is done the images or pages
are torn with concentric holes that add both depth and texture.
Scott’s photo’s use a series of
interesting methods to draw in and captivate the viewers. The transcendent passageways leave us
wondering just what is at the end and allows our imaginations to run wild.
Scott Hazard’s art work is
displayed in a variety of galleries throughout the USA from ‘The Second Street
Art Gallery’ in Charlottsville, VA to ‘The Atlantic Center for the Arts’.
It is the kind of Art that I
would hang in my room. At night when I
would stare into the picture just before I shut my eyes for my nights somber
and wonder where the porthole will take me tonight…….
Picture 1
This picture has a repetitive
feel to it. The feel however is
compromised by the piece of wood that holds the frames together. Clean and crisp is what we see, the perfect
box or is it. It creates the illusion
that there is something lurking beyond the frames but what we do not know.
Picture 2
Where does the tunnel end…..we
have no idea. As we look up in the clear
blue sky we are able to see a clean, crisp and calm porthole. An
escape perhaps from the world we live in to where we don’t know nor do we care
at times.
Photo #3
Perception is that of smoke
billow from a chimney on a gray gloomy day in an industrial city. Though it may look calming and natural is it
really? Where does the smoke go once it
leaves…..are we harming something far off in the distance for our own
satisfaction?
