His work examines the spectrum of mourning, Mexican culture, and masculinity through the medium of modern quilting. In addition to the quilts, the exhibit will also showcased the work of photographer and cinematographer Patrick Tichy. Scott and Patrick collaborated to create a series of photos documenting Scott’s quilts in an urban environment.
