Like their distinct person-
alities - Marioni is high-energy,
Singletary’s laid-back - their
artistic styles and strengths
meshed easily. Their most in-
tense “negotiations” were about
color, says Marioni, known for
vivid primaries while Singletary
favors earth tones. (The finished
pieces have both.)
“It was very playful and a lot
of fun. W e have an easy way of
working together, really natural
and relaxing,” Singletary says
of the collaboration, which both
are eager to try again, maybe in
a more sculptural, abstract vein.
“The spirit of it was essentially
the same as when we were teen-
agers,” says Marioni.“We got
together in the studio and made
stuff, like we always did. Only
this time, we had a mission.”
