Frances Scott
Frances Scott (b. 1991) is a photographic artist and art educator from Orkney, currently based in Glasgow. She graduated from Glasgow School of Art in 2014, where she now works as a photography technician. Her work examines themes of memory, geography, and belonging, often centred around journeys made through landscapes of personal significance, and since 2016 has been working on a long–term project to walk and document the coastlines of Orkney. She is a founding member of the Orkney–based Móti Collective, and a co-creator of Holm Sound, a digital offshoot of ØY Festival. Her first photobook, Undertow, was published by Another Place Press in February 2020, followed more recently by her second publication, A9.
