Andrew Pierce Scott’s Plaice Jug, formed in blackened and waxed steel, exemplifies the artist’s rigorous and materially driven practice. An American artist based in London and a graduate of the Royal College of Art, Scott works primarily in sheet steel, welding it into precise volumes before grinding and sanding the surfaces, then heat-blackening and finishing them with beeswax. The result is a richly worked surface with an iridescent sheen that subtly shifts in the light.
