Hugh Scott-Douglas — laser cut linen
Hugh Scott-Douglas

laser cut linen

Hugh Scott-Douglas's *Laser Cut Linen* showcases the artist's exploration of technology and materiality, using precision laser cutting to introduce geometric incisions and perforations into the surface of natural linen fabric. The work examines the tension between industrial process and organic textile, allowing light to pass through the cut voids and animate the piece with shifting patterns of shadow. The result is a visually delicate yet conceptually charged object that bridges craft tradition and contemporary digital fabrication.
