Artist Statement
This is another metaphor yet at the same time a reality, throwing stones in the river in order to change its course in the smallest way. We look in awe as rivers carry massive stones and small pebbles to the coast; this also acts as powerful metaphor for the river of life.
About the Artist
Elliot Collins
I am a text based artist who works in an interdisciplinary way incorporating painting, language, photography, installation and sculpture to discuss ideas of time, memory and ways we interpret our environment. I am interested in the art that can inform our lives and can be used as a filter or divining tool to see the world we inhabit with greater clarity and purpose. I live and work in Taranaki after moving from Tāmaki Makaurau Auckland in 2021 which has given me an even greater perspective and insight as to the power and purpose of a creative practice.
