Au79 (2002)
Au79: 1899–1902 represents deconstruction in practice. The visual text is a series of oil on canvas paintings in the form of polyptych and aims to explore concepts concerning the naming of the South African War of 1899 to 1902.
The opposing sides were the British Imperialist forces and the militarised ZAR (Zuid Afrikaanse Republic), commanded by Dutch descendent Paul Kruger.
The war broke out shortly after the discovery of a huge gold reef within the independent ZAR. The conflict was aggravated by the huge foreign labour force who brought essential mining expertise from Europe but lacked citizenry rights in the ZAR.
Historically, Afrikaner discourse perpetuated an ideology that framed the war as conflict between an authentic Boer identity and the imperial character of British exploitation. This strategy was intensified during Apartheid and led to the war being indexed as the Anglo-Boer War.
This solo exhibition by Scott at the CP Nel Museum during the 2002 KKNK arts festival in Oudtshoorn foregrounds the material context of the conflict and proposes renaming it Gold War.
The Machine in the Garden (2011)
Ecocriticism. Series of ceramic vases exhibited at various group exhibitions in Cape Town.
The Autobiographical Animal (2001)
