    I love it how I need to look and look again to see what is really going on and how the piece was constructed.  Great work.

    Looks nice this – reminds me a lot of Eike, from hort. The designer must have been a fan.

As a graduate of both architecture and art, Scott Hazard puts two and two together in his carefully constructed works—Photo Constructs and Text Constructs. Each piece is made by layering pages or images, which are then torn with concentric holes that add texture and depth.

“As the viewer’s gaze enters and traverses the layers of images in each construct, vision becomes tactile, lending an articulated viewing experience and a space for the eyes to linger in each image,” says the artist about his Photo Constructs series, which primarily features everyday sights and doorways, with portal-like holes as the focal point of each one. Using the same technique in the more recent Text Constructs, Scott’s goal is to ultimately “draw the viewer in for momentary reflection and a temporary departure”.
