John Scribner is a visual artist based in New York.

Anatomical prints, soil and sand, fake food, bones, and old toys are some of the disparate objects I reconstitute into sculpture that infuses the familiar with mystery. Collage and assemblage evoke disjointed narratives that reference History, Science, Literature, and the Arts. Humor and critique comingle in work that channels the vibrant wells of memory and dreams.
