Clare Grill: Parlance presents paintings that reveal layers of past gestures, textures, and subtle forms, where backgrounds are as vital as marks in the foreground. Drawing on years of evolution and small Signets as guides, her work interweaves color, shadow, and ethereal shapes with private references—letters, shorthand, and invented scripts—creating a visual language that feels intimate, enigmatic, and deeply attuned to memory, process, and abstraction.
