The Workshop series examines notions of portraiture through a detailed look at the personal and idiosyncratic organization of tools, specifically those of her grandfather.
Scotia alternates between the role of family historian, archivist, portraitist, and possibly even anthropologist, with the tools illustrating the spirit of her grandfather’s attitude to life: his inquisitive nature about the world and how it works, his capacity for problem solving, and his self-reliance.
