BIOGRAPHY

www.vickiscuri.com 16218 39th Ave. NE Lake Forest Park, WA, 206-930-1769 [email protected]

Building on thirty years of experience, my career continues to evolve. Educated in printmaking and design, my studio work transformed into large-scale public installations when I was a member of the Downtown Seattle Transit Artist Design Team. This program catalyzed my interest in collaborative work and public space. It marks the beginning of my practice, Vicki Scuri SiteWorks. My primary focus is site responsive, collaborative design and Public Art, with emphasis on community identity through awareness of place, history and environment. My practice specializes in infrastructure as public place because, infrastructure, best symbolized as the backbone of urban design, is the system upon which society builds its core values, creating meaning, mobility, and connectivity. Having participated on over fifty design teams across the United States, I continuously hone my skills as an artist and collaborator. In 2013, I earned a Certificate in Digital Design and Fabrication, extending my interest in surface modeling by focusing my final project on pattern designs in two and three dimensions, using the laser cutter and the router. These digital tools expand my abilities to realize my work and to embrace a more experimental process in image development. My projects are best known for their symbolic pattern work; play of sunlight and shadow over sculptural form; and my ability to engage the entire site as a canvas, integrating functionality, sustainability and art to create community landmarks. My work, while functional, invites public imagination and engagement. Many of my projects feature programmable LED lighting or make use of sunlight. Shadows move throughout the day, marking time and seasons. Community members actively participate by strolling, recreating and pausing to enjoy their neighborhoods and friends. At night, LED lighting marks seasons, community events and holidays, creating anticipation of celebration throughout the year. The use of native plants and rain harvesting promote environmental awareness. Civic spaces, transit, and pedestrian bridges become neighborhood destinations and gateways. They reflect their unique communities, landscapes and heritages by transforming infrastructure through Public Art and context sensitive design.
