About Scott
Scott Roberts creates a wide range of sculptural works from found objects and salvaged materials he finds on the street and collects from flea markets, junk shops, and estate sales. These pieces range from small wire sculptures, to quirky stringed instruments, to one of a kind chairs, and more. His work has been exhibited in Maryland, Massachusetts, and New York. Scott is a graduate of MICA and maintains his home studio/workshop in Bel Air, Maryland.
Pulp. 2023
Collection of sculptural works made of wire, found objects, and reclaimed materials for an exhibition at Pulp, a gallery in Holyoke, MA. October 21, 2023- November 19, 2023. Exploring ideas of weight, suspension, strength and motion, I attempt to create a sense of utilitarian purpose with this work. Due to the small scale, materials, and industrial themes, these pieces often feel as if they could be models or studies for much larger works, again suggesting the concept of functionality.
