Regarding Scott's work of the early seventies, Ronald Alley has written: 'Particularly characteristic has been a series of magisterial still lifes, some quite large, in which extremely simplified pots and pans appear together with abstract forms. The spacing of the shapes, the tensions between them, and the division of the picture area, are of particular importance, while the space is kept deliberately flat. The handling of a frying pan is used to tie the design to the edge of the picture and helps to stabilise the rows of floating forms. Each picture has its particular refined but voluptuous colour key' (R. Alley, Ulster Museum exhibition catalogue, William Scott, Belfast, June-August 1986, pp.24-25).
