The second solo exhibition for the artist, Scott has departed from her usual practice of printmaking and painting to create an immersive environment that includes sand dredged from a beach in north County Dublin, resin rock pools and an adult-sized tent inspired by the canvas tent of her childhood in order to immerse the viewer in her themes of environmentalism, nostalgia, loss and anxiety, childhood and play.
