Scott Hayes

 

At the moment I am working on the Adventures of the Death Dollar Dealers, a series of coloured drawings looking to the comic dark side of this capitalist grotesque that we seem to be living through. The first chapter is online and subsequent chapters will be published over May and June 2012. See scotthayes.org

I am also continuing with Bucky Balls (2005-2012) (selection pictured); these are balls made from the packing tapes that I encounter through my technical work in museums and various other art spaces and institutions. Most were created, and continue to be created, at the Kunsthalle Wien.

After something of a hiatus, I appear to be back.....

I am currently updating my archive and this should be renovated by June 2012, in the meantime : contact &/or CV &/or un-updated site
