Caz Scott: Breath Work
- Tue, Sep 24, 2024 - Sat, Jul 26, 2025 On view
Art Alley at Sawyer Yards1502 Sawyer Street
Sawyer Yards presents Breath Work, a new sculptural installation by Houston artist Caz Scott at the Sawyer Yards Art Alley.
Breath Work is a single piece in three parts that represents the process of emotional regulation, taking internal action and expressing it outwardly, and moving from the states of red-hot hyperarousal and the blues of hypoarousal into a blended, centered state of being. The piece was produced using a combination of digital design techniques, machine-aided construction, and hand painting and assemblage. The combination of machine and hand-crafting is persistent in the artists' work, as are explorations of loose barriers between the digital and the real.
Caz Scott is a multidisciplinary artist, published author, and educator. With their professional background in architecture, performance art, and sculpture, alongside a deep interest in natural sciences and metaphysical philosophies, Caz offers a cross-disciplinary approach that drives innovative creation. Their experience lecturing on digital fabrication at the university level has led them to offer 'digital apprenticeships' for aspiring artists with a desire to grow their technical skills out of a passion for sharing their expertise.
Raised a Houstonian, Caz draws from their identity as a queer, gulf-coast resident, and their work is representative of their internal world, and external influences.
