  In 1998, following additional trips to Mexico, and after absorbing the aesthetic implications of his earlier Mexico watercolours, Scully began to create his Wall of Light series of paintings, watercolours, pastels, and aquatints, that were exhibited in several occasions worldwide. Constructed with rectangular bricklike forms that fit closely together and are arranged in horizontal and vertical groupings, the paintings are characterised by broad brushstrokes, a wide range of luminous colours built up in layers, and varying degrees of light and darkness.
