Artist Statement

This painting uses language to create an image in the mind of the viewer and acts as an homage to time and the memory of spring arriving after winter. It is part of a larger metaphorical practice that utilizes language and painting to explore notions of memory, time, and ritual. This work, Untitled (the hue seed), arose after moving to Taranaki from Tāmaki Makaurau and noticing the change and impact of the seasons more profoundly.

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.
