Soft Landing

An excerpt from the catalog essay by Matthew Bakkom: "Most simply considered, the process through which she develops the work in the studio is one of discovering, through informed intuition, where the energy of the piece might take her. Each becomes a resonant souvenir of the dive through which it was revealed. Together they constitute a silent world beneath the waves to be explored in turn by the audience. And this world, though constituted by astute attention to the surface, is one that transports us beneath it into Collier’s very own exuberant, lush universe – a big lake of color, texture, scale, quietly subverted design and loosely calibrated vibration.
