Her sculptures bring to mind giant cocoons or mummies. Even though they are probably figurative, none were titled. Once finished, Scott would leave the objects on her worktable, without any attempt to display them. The understructures are composed of discarded or found items, such as electric fans, foam packaging, tubes of various sorts, and yarn cones. She would disguise the core with lengths of knotted cloth or yarn (her long-standing material) using a wide range of binding techniques\u2014wrapping, knotting, tying, lacing, stitching, knitting, and crocheting\u2014until it developed into an anthropomorphic bundle.
