Hugh Scott-Douglas

cyanotype on linen, in artist's frame

Hugh Scott-Douglas's work explores the intersection of photographic process and material experimentation, employing the luminous blue tones of cyanotype to create ghostly, light-sensitive impressions on raw linen. The artist's choice to present the work within his own handcrafted frame collapses the boundary between artwork and object, emphasizing the piece as a wholly conceived artifact. The result is a meditation on reproduction, surface, and the residual traces left by light and time.
