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.
CraigColeman is an artist and curator who works in photography, installation, and digital media. Coleman received their BFA from Florida State University and their MFA from the University of Colorado at Boulder. Currently, they are a Professor of Art in the Department of Art and Design at Mercer University.
