Artist Talk
with Craig Colman
Join Atlanta-based artist Craig Coleman for an intimate discussion of Closet Geometry, their immersive projection installation in Sliver Space. Coleman will explore the themes of identity, self-discovery, and vulnerability, discussing how their work reflects their journey as a non-binary and bisexual individual.
Through geometric projections, intimate imagery, and symbolic objects, Coleman will share how Closet Geometry evokes the complexity of self in a culturally restrictive environment. This talk offers insight into the personal and artistic processes behind the installation, followed by a Q&A.
