Double J Collective - Gallery

“The tension, the struggle that we experience, being ourselves, being unique, being different, wanting to stand out, and yet also wanting to belong.”

Marie-France Scott on A Dialogue in Monochrome, her sculptures in MONOCHROMA 2.

Two bodies of clay: one black, very grogged and coarse, the other white. Each piece begins as a single curved oval slab, which she cuts up and reassembles.

What she is after is the pull between the individual and the collective, held in the same object: “I’m looking to convey that tension, and that harmony, in the final pieces.”

Sixth of a series of artist interviews from the exhibition.
