Scott B. Davis is a Southern California–based visual artist whose work explores arid landscapes and the perceptual qualities of light. You may know Scott from his work, MOPA, Medium, or now as the new Public Art Program Manager at the Port of San Diego.
Since the early 1990s, he has worked with large wooden view cameras and the 19th-century photographic process of platinum/palladium printing, using these historic tools in experimental ways. His photographs have been exhibited internationally, with reviews appearing in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times, New Yorker, and Village Voice. His work is held in prominent museum collections including the J. Paul Getty Museum, Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art, Kiyosato Museum of Photographic Arts (Japan), and Pier 24 Photography.
Beyond his Visual Artist practice of 31 years, Davis currently serves as Public Art Program Manager for the Port of San Diego. He is also the Founder and former Executive Director of Medium Photo, a nonprofit dedicated to mentoring artists and advancing the photographic arts. Previously, he served as Director of Exhibitions and Design at the Museum of Photographic Arts in San Diego.
In understanding how art was first created—through the patient, alchemical processes of the past—we ourselves are shaped. The act of knowing becomes part of the making, and we discover that we, too, are the masterpiece being formed.
