Scott McNeil’s figures are generally formed in fine stoneware clay, sometimes embellished with a dark patina after firing. The immediacy and raw complexity of the media has become enduringly attractive, both a departure and a continuation of earlier ideas explored on canvas.

Scott says of his work: ‘The clay body has a beautifully simplified palate, and the process allows for fast and uncomplicated paths into a creative flow. I feel the clay to be a highly suggestive body that brings about, through physical, conceptual and spontaneous negotiations, an animated, and structurally cohesive form.”
