Carrie Scott

In concert with curating exhibitions and building both private and public art collections, Carrie Scott & Partners works closely with a number of artists and photographers - including Nick Knight, David Sims, Lord Snowdon, Walter & Zoniel, Marina Shacola, Hugo Rittson Thomas and Federico Pestilli - to establish strong and sustained markets on their behalf. CS&P participates in many aspects of this process, from selecting pieces in their archive, assisting and overseeing artwork production, and putting together a considered sales strategy that sees placement of the work in museum and exhibition settings.
Founder and Managing Partner of Carrie Scott & Partners, Carrie Scott has been a curator and arts writer since 2004. She has developed Modern and Contemporary collections in Europe and the United States, working with numerous businesses, executives and collectors to help them establish, manage, and maintain both corporate and personal art collections.
Since early 2010, Scott has also worked side-by-side with visionary fashion photographer Nick Knight to create the SHOWstudio Shop where she curated exhibitions at the gallery that featured high profile contemporary artists like Douglas Gordon, Raymond Pettibon, Keith Tyson, Terrence Ko, and Anj Smith, alongside the work of dynamic young artists like Tim A. Shaw, Courtney Andrews, Charlotte Kingsnorth, and Walter Hugo. The SHOWstudio’s gallery is now globally recognized as a pioneering, ground-breaking platform that nurtures and encourages creativity by combining the different art forms together in one space.
Before starting Carrie Scott & Partners in 2009, Scott was Director of Nicole Klagsburn Gallery, New York, where she worked closely with artists such as Beth Campbell, Matthew Day Jackson, Rashid Johnson, Mika Rottenberg, Adam McEwen, and Storm Tharp. Prior to that, she was noted curator of the Hedreen Gallery at Seattle University's Lee Center, and Director of the James Harris Gallery in Seattle, Washington.
In 2017, Scott will appear as a presenter on The Art Show, an entirely new art series that richly captures the artists of our lifetime that have inspired collectors and art lovers alike.
The Art Show
Filming with world class artists, collectors and industry insiders to tell stories about art in all its aspects - the many ways it enters our lives and reflects who we are as people, how it gets made, its history and the industry surrounding it.

Sabrina's new website was created by Carrie: sabrinawardharrison.info
The following is a piece written by Carrie about Sabrina's work:
Sabrina Ward Harrison published her first book, Spilling Open: The Art of Becoming Yourself, at the age of 23. Written between the ages of eighteen and twenty-one, Spilling Open was an intimate and moving picture of the contradictions young women face as they are asked to grow into societal norms of femininity. Her tender honesty and singular aesthetic energy turned Harrison into the voice of a generation.
Though she went on to publish four more books, to call Harrison an author isn’t accurate. Books were certainly her unique way to distribute the work, but her practice has always begun in her compositions. Harrison’s canvases – whether the pages of a book or a wood paneled painting – appear effortless; flowing bold, singular marks pivot and plot across colored fields of energy. These saturated areas of color, hand written words and beautifully worked surfaces, create a combination of iconography that is immediately recognizable and Harrison’s own.
Marked by repetition, intuition, and cultural references – as well as an endurance of symbolism and diaristic expression – means there is an undeniable continuity in the vocabulary of Harrison’s work. But it is the bravery in laying herself bare that brings an edge to the work that is also at once palpable and undeniably powerful. Central to Harrison’s practice is her exploration of the most intimate of experiences in universal form. Harrison’s oeuvre explores questions about love, faith, and identity, embracing the pain and pleasure of living. Her conscious mark-making results in reasoned surfaces that are balanced between purposeful text and powerful imagery.
Harrison is the creator of 5 groundbreaking published books; the first one, Spilling Open, was published when she was 23. She has gone onto publish, Brave on the Rocks, Messy Thrilling Life, The True and The Questions and The Story is Happening. Sabrina was born in Montreal Canada and moved to California with her family at 9. She went onto study photography and graphic design at California College of the Arts in San Francisco.
She has taught creativity worldwide for 2 decades with a belief she holds strong to, that, "we must create what we most need to find" After fantastic years in Northern California and New York City, She is currently exploring the midwest in the wonderful city of Madison Wisconsin, which reminds her of her childhood in Canada.

“ What Causes Sun Halos?
— https://weather.com/news/news/sun-halos-florida-20140416
A mix of chemistry, physics and geometry are the main components for sun halos.
Recall that the atmosphere is a mix of gases, including oxygen, nitrogen and water vapor. At high enough altitudes in the sky, the water vapor condenses and then freezes into ice crystals. As sunlight passes through the ice crystals, the geometry of the crystals cause the light to refract, similar to what happens when light passes through a prism. ”

The Invitation
by Oriah Mountain Dreamer
It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own; if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, 'Yes.'It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children.
It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.

Tuesday, 12 November, 2013
There once was a little brown haired girl who loved to roar. Each morning she would rub the sleep out of her eyes and roar.
“Good Morning,” greeted her dad.
“Rawr,” shouted the little girl until she felt it rumble in her heart. She smiled and then skipped off to play.
Sitting quietly in the grass, the girl concentrated on the activity she labored on.
Up walked a freckled faced boy who asked, “whatcha doing?”
“Rawr,” yelled the brown haired girl as she happily held out her project. The boy was un-phased by her undertaking and walked away.
Later the girl saw a group of giggly youngsters gathered around in a circle laughing. She strolled up to the assembly, edged her way in, and listened as they all chatted.
“What do you think?” asked a girl in yellow and white polka dots.
“Rawr,” hollered the brown haired girl as she laughed. Some snickered while the rest of the group looked at her with confusion. But she just hopped away while her hair bounced behind her.
Day in and day out, the roaring continued. Some wondered if she was angry. Some wondered if she was silly. But most didn’t care to stick around to understand the roar. Until one day she was approached by a curly headed boy.
His shaggy hair covered the tops of his ears as he marched up to the girl in fascination. He opened his mouth and barely whispered the words, “hello, brown haired girl.”
“Rawr,” screamed the girl in uneasy retort to the squeaky boy she could hardly hear.
“Why do you always roar?” softly questioned the fluffy mass of curls.
“Because all of my favorite things roar,” answered the girl. “The ocean. The thunder. Even the sound of laughter. Why are you so silent?” countered the spunky girl to the hushed little boy.
“Because all of my favorite things are quiet,” responded the boy. “A breeze. The snow. The warm feeling I feel in my heart.”
The brown haired girl reflected upon the things the boy told her. For the first time, she meditated on this new way of exchange. She closed her eyes tight and held her breath nervously. Then when she was ready to speak, she opened her mouth and almost inaudibly declared, “I like you and your curls.”
“Rawr,” bellowed the boy.
And they both skipped off together.

Tip JarShow Notes:
Full list of quotes posted on Facebook:
Jeni Cahill My favorite favorite poem is by the great Rumi:
"Come. Come.
Whoever you are.
Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving.
It doesn't matter.
Ours is not a caravan of despair.
Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times.
Come, yet again.
Come. Come."
It's my reminder that I am always welcome back. To start over. Begin anew. (I cry Everytime I say it) It's quite special to me.
Annie Langseth "There must be those among whom we can sit down and weep, and still be counted as warriors."
-Adrienne Rich-
Kriss Lumsden “BE WHO YOU WERE CREATED TO BE AND YOU WILL SET THE WORLD ON FIRE.” SAINT CATHERINE OF SIENNA ... I keep this one on my website.
Tracee Bolte Jones "Whether you think you can, or think you can't...you're right!" ~ Henry Ford
Hannah P Ribbens "I had an uprising in my soul." K'naan
Sarah DuBow "If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am only for myself,
what am i? If not now, when?" - Hillel the Elder. I use this quote every day to make sure I am caring for myself, helping others, and not putting either of things off.
Cynthia Reynolds At any time you can ask yourself: At which threshold am I now standing? At this time in my life, what am I leaving? Where am I about to enter? What is preventing me from crossing my next threshold? What gift would enable me to do it? - John O'Donohue
Eric Scott "Inspiration is for amateurs. The rest of us just show up and get to work." - Chuck Close
Danielle Donaldson “Promise me you will not spend so much time treading water and trying to keep your head above the waves that you forget, truly forget, how much you have always loved to swim.” Tyler Knott Gregson
Margret Morse Keep walking, though there's no place to get to. Don't try to see through the distances. That's not for human beings. Move within, but don't move the way fear makes you move. Today, like every other day, we wake up empty and freightened. Don't open the door to the study and begin reading. Take down a musical instrument. Let the beauty we love be what we do. There are hundreds of ways to kneel and kiss the ground. -Rumi
Jasmine Jones Artists are people driven by the tension between the desire to communicate and the desire to hide. - D.W. Winnicott
Christina Crook "I am not afraid. I was born to do this." - Joan of Arc
Kathleen Rossi I like this quote a lot...
"I think everything in life is art. What you do. How you dress. The way you love someone, and how you talk. Your smile and your personality. What you believe in, and all your dreams. The way you drink your tea. How you decorate your home. Or party. Your grocery list. The food you make. How your writing looks. And the way you feel. Life is art."

Amanda Grace 'Hope and Memory have one daughter, and her name is art' ~ WB Yeats. Resonates so deeply with me. I came across this as I was 'building my dwelling' (studio) in Sligo.. which also happens to be next to his grave
Corinne Stubson "We're gonna need a bigger boat". (Roy Scheider- 'Jaws' ad lib)
Amanda Grace Ha! That was on TV here last night. Never gets old.. although it did frighten me out of the ocean when I was small (and by small, I mean...til I was 38)

Audrey Grace Speicher " I want to beg you, as much as I can, to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and books that are written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which would not … —— Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.
Sylvan Bourgette "The Source has lit my mind Itself, and keeps my mind lit by Its light because It's light is what my mind is"
Melanie Price We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us. - Joseph Campbell

“ If—
— RUDYARD KIPLING
If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son! ”“ The Road Not Taken
— ROBERT FROST
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference. ”

The Room in the Trees.
Several years ago in a suburb of Los Angeles Sabrina and I started a conversation. We began at the high school where we were both students and became friends in fourth period, advanced art 2.
It had been over a decade since I had last caught up with Sabrina. Years she had spent traveling, publishing books and teaching. Years I had spent mostly in schools studying art and teaching. I had moved back to California to escape the cold of my third February in Chicago. Sabrina was visiting family.
We talked at length about how little we actually knew about the city we grew up in. Someone found that place and began creating. There were explorers and settlers. People fought over water, stumbled down canyons, named streets, planted orchards and raised families. We went to high school in the 90’s.
In the school’s back parking lot by the choir room there was an old discarded theater set. It was a single green papered wall with a hearth, very likely old enough to have witnessed the years we walked the halls as teenagers.
Roping the flimsy green wall onto the top of my aging beige Toyota Camry felt like the right thing to do. Of course we did. We had decided to make a monument in honor of, in remembrance of, in spite of, in gratitude for, in defiance of the city we had grown up in and the memories forever tied to it. This old theater set would be the start.
On a hillside overlooking the whole of down town LA were three trees. It wasn’t chance that led us to those trees but it wasn’t predetermined either. The triangle of trees seemed the perfect set of standards to support a space. The wall we saved from the high school fit exactly between the first two trees. A second wall was made from a roll of canvas I had used to cover my bedroom wall many years ago. Sabrina had a collection of found objects and pieces of past project that became the final wall and roof.
Once complete the room sat ready to be occupied. One little puff of grass sprouted from the ground as a center piece waiting to be surrounded. As the sun set Sabrina’s dad came by to see what we had done. The three of us sat in the room in the trees to finish the conversation and set a pattern for what would ultimately lead us to create this podcast.
The Room in the Trees is a space made from the scraps and accumulation of stories and places. Built for conversation, it was cleared out, set up and stands waiting for the raw materials of life and experience to be combined into something both spoken and material so story and expression can continue.

Trent Reynolds
Trent is an artist, teacher, husband, and father of three daughters living in Los Angeles.
Born and raised in California Trent is actually the one writing this description. He feels fairly uncomfortable writing about himself in the third person and would like to recommend the reader listen to the podcast in order to assess his character in more depth.
Trent received his undergraduate degree in painting and drawing from Brigham Young University and graduate degree in drawing and painting from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
After three wonderful years in Chicago he moved back to Los Angeles to teach art at Santa Monica College and SMC Emeritus College. He continues to value unending summer and the overwhelming congestion and diversity of Los Angeles.
