The Artist
New Zealand Artist Makoure Scott, is a painter and environmental artist who incorporates elements of Maori and Pakeha cultures in his sculptures and paintings. Scott uses materials such as sand, stone and tree gums from the area to emphasize his organic connection to the land.
Makoure Scott has also incorporated Space themes in his work and is expected to be the first professional artist to draw in space when aboard the first Virgin Galactic flight in space. Scott earned a bearth on Space Ship Two, the first spaceship to be launched by Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic, by submitting a portfolio of his work and has paid $200 000 for his ticket. The Virgin Galactic flights will go into suborbital space, about 100km above the Earth. Participants will experience weightlessness, and Makoure Scott hopes to draw whilst weightless.
"Being an artist, it's always good to gather inspiration in other ways." Scott commented.
