Domna Collier

Centering my oeuvre around embolic manifestations of mortality and existentialism, I create physical representations of these internal conflicts through sculptural subjects in varying stages of metamorphosis. These depictions are usually framed by allusions to mythological narratives in scenes of violence which are often marked by disfigurement, destruction or decay. In these compositions I present this suffering as a necessary transition into change, symbolised through my work by paralleled manifestations of nature budding alongside trauma, to coincide with the belief that: only after learning to observe and represent reality accurately, can we then ultimately develop a personal way of working through our limitations and grow.
