In Scott O'Rourke's work landscape is an important source of inspiration where nature is experienced as something in constant flux, with forms constantly morphing into one another. This interest in change and movement is a recurring theme in his work.
The working process often begins in sketchbooks, where collage and drawing form systems that explore growth and entropy as a kind of continuous flow of information and a celebration of biomass.
He works in drawing, painting, collage and printmaking with Etching being his speciality.
In 2010 he founded his own Printmaking workshop; 'Monster Island Press', which functions as a laboratory for experimentation with images and prints. He is interested in what he calls the monstrous, not as something frightening, but as a positive approach of thinking about new forms and bodies within nature. His works mix different expressions from animals, plants, minerals and visual references from both religion and consumer culture.
