Born and raised in Fife, Scott Hunter planned to be a gas engineer rather than an artist; but a trip to Japan in 2009 saw him change course.

Scott’s method is part photography, part environmental science; combining imagery and soil chromatography (where a soil solution is absorbed by silver coated paper creating a ‘picture’ of the soil). He is particularly interested in how nature has reclaimed former industrial landscapes. 

He was funded by Scene Stirling via our Unlearning Open Grants to develop a climate change project exploring the ecological potential of a former munitions depot on the banks of the Forth
