Piece description from the artist
The peaks of Mount Rainier National Park may seem timeless, but many, including Rainier herself, are active stratovolcanoes. This entire landscape sits along the Ring of Fire, where tectonics and time have carved valleys, raised ridges, and shaped the deep green forests below.
The dark conifers in this piece rise from a ground formed by eruptions and collapse. the last major event here was in the 15th century. The next could come at any time. This is a landscape made by fire and overgrown by the passage of time.
Currently located in Washington, DC, Scott is a native Floridian photographer specializing in landscape photography. His work explores the interplay of light and dark — rejecting the notion that photography is just “painting with light.” He seeks what resides in the contrast — the liminal spaces of the world.
Scott has shot in some of the most beautiful locations in the world, including Iceland and locations throughout the Old World. But some of his most inspiring locations are right at home in America's enchanting National Parks.
