Jordan Scott

Mixed Media and Photography

Photo of a mixed-media art piece. Rows of old postage stamps are arranged in 4 squares turned 45 degrees toward one another, so the overall piece resembles a giant x shape, or a square cross shape turned at an angle. The rows of postage stamps are sorted by color. Bright rows of red, yellow, green and other hues dominate the patterns' color scheme.
A man works in his studio. The man is seen on the left in a winter cap, dark green sweater and grey pants with a work table just in front of him. He's facing a large canvas almost as tall as his propped up on a white wall. On the canvas there are rows of old postage stamps he carefully arranges in rows by color to form an overall image of a pattern of colorful rectangles. The photo is taken with a time lapse effect to show the man appearing in a semi-transparent position and then another right next to it.

The left pattern takes a lavender or light purple color tone while the right one has a lighter, almost creamy white appearance.
A photo of a mixed-media art piece. In it, rows of old postage stamps with predominantly blue and green color schemes are arranged in rectangles which are "stacked" on and in within one another, but at slightly different angles. The overall image, though geometric, has a quality that resembles waves in a sea.
