The Miller Tavern presents the work of two artists, @marciabianchi.studio and @f.sclocco who, over recent months, have made a deliberate turn away from perfection and control. Emerging from separate residencies in France during 2025, both practices have been similarly shaped by an immersion in textiles, colour, and architectural rhythms—experiences that engaged with existing systems, structures, and spatial order, while simultaneously inviting disruption. Rather than placing focus and attention on refining, both artists have allowed uncertainty, process, and material to guide the work.
Throughout the exhibition, there is a shared commitment to experimentation and play. Raw linen, oil stick, charcoal, clay, and other tactile materials are embraced for their sense of possibility. Marks remain visible, surfaces stay open, and outcomes are embraced rather than predetermined. In letting the work become what it wants to be, the artists create space for chance, gesture, and discovery—revealing practices that are less about mastery and more about listening, risk, and becoming.
