Michael Scoggins displays large drawings that look like notebook pages. This is his primary vehicle in utilizing a connection with his viewers. The paper is enlarged to give the common object a sense of importance and to create a new perspective. This paper, which the artist himself crafted, is sometimes deliberately scribbled, torn, and folded.Scoggins departs from the traditional method by attempting to make three-dimensional art out of common plane drawings and paintings. He mainly communicates through what people can identify as a child’s scribble or drawing.
