2026
Documentary

Synopsis
Artist Scott Gibbs refers to himself as a "Professional Human."
Aside from being a unique and extremely talented artist, over the years he has been amassing a huge collection of water. When I first met him, I was captivated by his work, and puzzled by why he had so much water. After surviving a major automobile accident, Scott permanently lost the ability to voluntarily visualize mental images. Each bottle or jug of collected water is notated and represents whatever event happened that day. That's how he remembers.
Scott only uses non-tampered with water which comes directly from the sky, such as rain, snow, hail, and fog. He also produces most of his pigments from organic matter.
He is one of the most original visual artists that I have ever met.
