Artist Statement:

Working with acrylic paint on yupo paper (a non-porous polymer based paper), Collin creates imagined landscapes and abstract spaces that address plasticity, historicity, modernity, and climate crisis through a psycho-geographical lens. Working on over a dozen paintings at a time allows for formal and conceptual relationships to develop between the works. Collin chooses to work in this industrious approach to painting in order to mirror the pace and abundance of content and materialism in late stage capitalism. His work plays upon the emergent tensions and sincere irony that surround us in this liminal historical moment, by illustrating the contradictions that are present in the practice of creating art objects that are aimed to combat capitalism, and ecological collapse while still holding their place in the market as fetishized objects. His material explorations allow him to physically process, embody, and then render his lived experiences of repetition, constraint, determinism and agency into tangible forms through additive and subtractive mark making. Collin’s work explores light, edge, flatness, time, space, color, process, landscape, abstraction, and divinity.
