Colloquy names a conversation or exchange. In Marion Adnams’s Surrealist world, the word opens the possibility that forms might appear to address one another, gaining unfamiliar lives through their relationships. Painted in 1968, the work belongs to her sustained transformation of natural forms and everyday encounters into scenes that hover between recognition and strangeness.
