Scott Trevelyan

Scott is an artist based in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales, Australia. He facilitates Art Therapy sessions for those that have survived an ABI (Acquired Brain Injury), through causes such as motor vehicle accidents, stroke, assault and Multiple Sclerosis. These sessions are held at Willowbank Studio, Alstonvale and have been running twice monthly since 2006. He has utilised printmaking to represent his experience of the Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) he suffered in a high-speed motorcycle accident. Other injuries included eight broken vertebrae, two broken ribs with a punctured lung, a broken shoulder bone and dislocated hip. Scott spent ten days in a coma. "Using items salvaged from the crash and hospital scenes, I create templates for acid-etching into copper, emulating the way the crash has been engraved into my mind. I now use the printmaking process in a cathartic manner on my road to recovery, while working to heighten public awareness of the challenges associated with TBI."
