BIO

Scott Harrison Greenwalt was born in St. Louis, Missouri in 1974.

He lives and works in San Francisco, CA

His earliest aspirations were to work in Hollywood doing horror movie special effects, awed by the work of Rick Baker and Tom Savini. That macabre sensibility carried over into a fascination with metal and punk album-cover art, which he began reproducing on paper and his friend’s clothing throughout junior high and high school. This led to logo and flier designs for friends' bands.

He continued his art endeavors at a small state college in western Missouri. In this rural setting there was little else to do but skateboard, ride bikes, watch trains, read, make art and engage with a handful of other artists and philosophy students. After graduating college, he lived in Kansas City for a year, before moving to Oakland, CA in 1997 to attend the graduate program at California College of the Arts. During this time his work evolved to more refined and detailed work concerned with interwoven systems of architecture, industrial conduits, and medical-mechanical interventions with the human body. Since graduating, he continued to develop work concerning these themes, now focused on interactions of mutated flesh, veins, muscle, hair, intestines and the body's violent reaction to poison stimulus.

During all of this he became immersed in experimental music, creating drone sound-scapes, spaztic and abrasive noise with vocals, bass, guitar, synthesizers and piano. He is a long time percussionist, playing currently with bands "the James Coburn Sessions" and "Neejerk", as well as his solo project, "Schizovomitor."
