Best known for his research into ceramics and print, Paul Scott creates individual pieces that blur the boundaries between fine art, craft and design. Research has always played a key role in all aspects of his work – from investigating the technical methodologies of print transfers to the synthesis of historical form and contemporary artefact embodied in his Cumbrian Blue(s) series of which three works were acquired for Bury Art Museum through the Contemporary Art Society’s Omega Fund. Spode Works Closed is a visual comment on the closure of British factories and the sale of their ‘marques’ to China.
