Alyssa Scott is a Canadian visual artist working in several fields of practice, including installation, printmaking, sculpture, media art, and multidisciplinary art. Currently, she is especially intrigued by the meditative qualities of plant cultivation, the subtleties of inks and colour, and paper cutting.

Through her artwork, she explores the tension between permanence and ephemerality, while reflecting on rootedness and displacement, the concept of home, and the ambiguous borders between the rural and the urban. She is particularly interested in the cyclical and transformative aspects of nature, contrasting them with human activity, and exploring the renewal and evolution of built structures.

Alyssa contemplates the contradictions inherent to living on the land, cultivating it, and transforming nature in order to do so. Her practice reflects how both forces of nature and our transformations of nature act on each other, intertwine and co-exist, in both constructive and renewing, and deconstructive and decaying ways, through an ungraspable desire for permanency and familiarity, and the inevitably impermanent, ever-evolving, and fragile qualities of the shelters and land which sustain us.
