ABOUT “Midnight at the Oasis”
“Midnight at the Oasis” was inspired by the artist’s 2019 trip to Morocco. For most Westerners, the camel is an exotic animal that is associated with the desert, Arabic folklore, and One Thousand and One Nights. For us, camels are awkward animals often described as lacking grace. Sandy Scott, however, had a close look at the desert animal and found beauty in it. Scott depicts a gentle camel with a peaceful demeanor. Its natural elegance is enhanced by colorful tassels and an elaborate saddle that certainly show care and pride. “Midnight at the Oasis” is a graceful sculpture inspired by the wonder and mystery of the desert with a wink to Maria Muldaur’s old tune.
