Cathedral is a mixed media wall sculpture. Made from enamel washes on birch, MDF and copper spray enamel. Finished with a hand waxed process. Cathedral takes on the abstract form of a soaring building. Perhaps a church spire or other tall building in form. But that is secondary to the feeling that the piece envokes which I believe is faith, hope and angelic positivity. Cathedral is a monochromatic piece which is minimalistic in nature, so the form, composition and the balance of the piece can trump a definitive subject matter. In this case, Cathedral becomes what the viewer sees in it or what they attach to emotionally within the piece. It comes wired to hang.

Scott Troxel draws on the aesthetics of bygone technology and the forward-looking designs of the Atomic Age and mid-century modernism to make dynamic, retrofuturist wooden sculptures that evoke nostalgia for the past as much as they look to the future. Fascinated by the way pieces of technology, culture, and design reveal their age, Scott aims to make works that cannot be pinned to a specific era. Scott has exhibited his work at numerous fairs and exhibitions across the United States, including The Other Art Fair New York, and his works are held in private collections across the United States, Canada, Europe, and South America. As a purely abstract artist, I explore form, line, color, shape, texture and mass. Since I am usually not relying on a recognizable object in my work, I create through the process itself. I start out with a sketch or design and work through the creative process, hands on. My pieces always take several weeks to finish as I constantly change them, until they just feel right. I really like to give my pieces a feeling of juxtaposition and a balance of opposites, in terms of textures and materials. For example, I will combine a recycled 60 year old cherry table top with a piece of modern manufactured Azek decking. The ideas of young/old, past and future, modern versus outdated, technology, nostalgia and futurism all seem to find a place in my work. I also believe this ties into a distinctly human theme. For example, you can pinpoint a person’s age by the technology they grew up with (Black and white TV, Rotary phone, landlines, etc.).
