Conceits like prioritizing intuition over serendipity and thinking of art making as an autonomous endeavor are gaps in memory, lapses caused by friction against one’s internal timeline. That which has fallen away piles up in the bottom of the brainpan. I have taken that residue and made a body delirium.
Holding a BA in Philosophy and an MA in English Literature, both from Southern Illinois University at Carbondale, plus an MFA from the University of Illinois at Chicago, Collier is a writer as well as a visual artist. He writes art criticism for Oregon ArtsWatch (www.orartswatch.org) in Portland, Oregon, and is the author of a number of catalogue essays. His approach to art making is multidisciplinary, including poetry, drawing, sculpture, photography and video, often in the same artwork or installation. Recent exhibitions include The Suburban in Illinois, Nine Gallery in Portland, Portland State University Schneider Museum of Art, and Oregon State University. This is his second exhibition at CEI Artworks in Corvallis, Oregon.
