Working in clay, Elizabeth Scott emphasizes the tactile qualities of expression and gesture, exploring the body's relationship to grief and hope and reflecting both personal and collective experiences from a feminist perspective. In her first solo exhibition at Craig Krull Gallery, Ace of Cups, Scott presents more than 50 ceramic face cups, each one a gestural portrait of an emotion, from a passing fear to a quiet yearning. Some faces appear gleeful, others melancholy or deranged. Scott uses a needle tool to cut phrases and references into some of their foreheads: “take me home,” “not long for this world,” or simply, “Led Zeppelin.” In tarot, the Ace of Cups marks a new beginning, or a portal; a card of care and compassion, it is often an omen of new love and burgeoning creativity. Just as a tarot card spread might help you navigate your past, present, and future, Scott’s collection of cups traces a journey through time and feeling, toward tenderness.
