COLLEEN COLEMAN:

 

Colleen Coleman is a multi-disciplinary artist, living in Brooklyn, New York. She is recent recipient of an MFA in Sculpture from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Colleen Coleman's work uses a personal language of visual metaphor to explore life through history and projection of the future. Outer space, time travel, invisibility, tolerance: nothing is impossible in the worlds she constructs. She makes sculpture, prints, drawings, and animations to explore liminal states of becoming. She utilizes character narratives simultaneously with enigmatic adventure, explore diverse aspects of life and consciousness, dynamics of human interaction, and environmental changes. The world as it once was, treating the historical amnesia suffered by society. Her influences range from symbolism, surrealism and pop art in western tradition -- extending the Catholic and African traditions of object and altar making. It is Coleman's belief that all human beings share in a collective unconscious and her work reflects her own personal struggle to uncover the full meaning of what it means to be HUMAN.
