For many years Scott has worked with charcoal dust to create large scale, temporary drawings, which shift and disintegrate over time. Ash Limbs is the first of a new series for Scott, using lime plaster as a means of holding and fixing her drawings. Charcoal dust is applied onto wet lime plaster (made using lime Scott created in 2021 from Portland stone), creating a negative space drawing. As the lime plaster sets it draws the charcoal dust into its surface and hardens through a process of carbonisation.

Uniting the carbon of Mendip ash trees with the carbon of Portland lime, Ash Limbs speaks of ecological loss and the interconnected nature of organic matter.
