Starting a career in print design and later finding a passion for photography, Scott has devoted much of his time to studying light and design.
Most recently, sculpting has re-focused his energy and helps continue his journey of designing with light. To even an untrained eye, the
sconces and sculptures he creates reveal a symbiotic relationship between the characteristics of the materials used and the light they
produce. Scott believes “the pleasure of seeing light shape and define the geometry in objects and spaces is one of the many joys of
creating around it.”
Scott lives in a forest home that he and his wife Llora designed and built on land that lay west of a town named after a Delaware chief,
Tonqua Oxie. Drawing inspiration from the land, it is there he works the metal into objects that often echo the symbols of Native
Americans. Sourrounding roads that also bear the names of ancient tribes, help create the aura of the land he lives on. The land,
its history and the energy derived are a reminder to him .... “this is a good place to create.”
His creations are light sculptures sometimes labeled Rustic, Southwest or Mountain Contemporary and always designed with a
reverence for the people who were stewards of the land centuries before.
Where it all began and continues today.... Scott Cook Photo.... studying the amazing effects light has on composition and the elements of
design. View some of Scott’s work that spans over two decades of study.
