What do you look to for inspiration when creating your pattern pieces?
For the pattern work, it’s kind of all over. Outer space images from movies or from reality, images from Hubble etc., stuff I’ve collected traveling in places like Japan or India… I’ve always been a nerd. In high school I was studying AP calculus etc. but was really drawn to geometry. So there was this common thread in everything I liked and was good at that pulled me towards creating things out of simple shapes and having them repeat. Then when I went to college at the Maryland Institute College Of Art, I studied Mesoamerican art history and Islamic Art & Pattern. So it’s something I have always been interested in and something I’ve always used to some extent in my art making.

Scott Walker works Monday to Friday as the assistant managing editor at the Birmingham News, Alabama’s largest newspaper. In his spare time he created this design project that transformed an old newspaper box into ‘The Digital Newsstand’. The project replaces the window with an lcd monitor that is hooked up to a computer inside the box. The screen is now used to display a variety of newspaper front pages that walker personally worked on. In addition, Walker programmed the computer to provide news updates and play music through hidden speakers inside. All in all, the project offers a new way to view the news that blends the old fashioned newspaper standand digital technology.
