Julia Scott's work result from her ongoing curiosity about ideas and images drawn from physics, mathematics and psychology.  Ideas that she finds enticingly complex, subtle and paradoxical.

Through the painting process, they become a contemplation and layered interaction of scientific ideas and imagination - a quest for a missing piece that remains just out of reach. 

Underpinning her process is a collective juman understanding and shared 'reality' that enables dialogue between and consideration of apparently disparate conceptions.

Painting and looking at paintings is a very personal experience.  A complex mix of individual experiences - cobbled together - by instinct and observation (brain and mind).  One person may respond to certain elements in a painting while someone else responds to something completely different.  It all depends on how we make sense of what we encounter.

Complexity increases the lack of agreement about what is seen.  We all make our own way/create our own models as we navigate what we find and try to understand.

Julia Scott's paintings do not depick concepts literally, but draw on and combine an external reserach-based and analytical approach with an internal mysterious, unconscious and more spiritual world.
