Mediums Used

Elizabeth Rollins-Scott has a specialist interest in all things spiritual and mythical. Her work is varied and eclectic and is inspired partly by experience and also from vivid dreams in addition to her artistic influences. Since graduating from college, Elizabeth has maintained a strong professional art practice, although this has been supplemented over the years with experiences in the fashion industry, art therapy, art lecturing and tarot reading.

Elizabeth has, over the course of the last decade, also developed works for the Ballet Rambert, a Shakesperean actors company and developed set designs for a 12 piece Latin Orchestra, Sandunga as well as working with Colin Riley, a composer working with the English National Opera, who composed a work especially to accompany the works displayed on this site and entitled `Still Moving`. (hear the composition on Elizabeth`s website)

In addition to the arts, Elizabeth has been instrumental in establishing several arts communities in West London, which included setting up Diesel House Studios, one of the foremost artist communities that has shown the works of hundreds of artists and continues to nurture and develop a new generation of artists and crafts people.

Elizabeth now lives and works her home-studio in Somerset which has allowed Elizabeth to focus on developing a new body of sculpture which is being prepared for exhibitions in the forthcoming year.

Since my early childhood, I have had a fascination with the esoteric and spiritual dimensions of life that has been based upon my profound personal experiences with auras and energies, which have included visions, dreams and physical manifestations. My inspiration has also been drawn from both the primitive forms of antiquity as well as the religious sculptures and art forms of both the Gothic, Medieval and Renaissance periods.

Throughout my career I have predominantly developed two bodies of work: one vessel and sculptural based, which is ostensibly my angelic sculptural works and my sleeping heads and the other, figurative and landscape works, which are developed from complex surfaces inspired by my love of Egyptian and Coptic textiles and explored through the medium of print and painting, but throughout, there is a strong overriding common language and synergistic relationship which elucidates the relation between the modes, that is evidenced by both the complex application of layers and detailed markings and patterns.

My work moreover is approached from a multi-disciplinary perspective and invites insights and techniques from all media in which I work, namely, ceramics, sculpture, painting and printmaking. This rich vocabulary allows me to not only challenge conventional thinking but also work outside traditional boundaries.
