Kenneth Coleman STATEMENT If I were pressed about the issue, I might say that my work is about the porous membrane between two or more improbable worlds. But I might not. I am, more than anything else, an unreliable narrator. Mostly I just make pictures. I make marks. I smear around colored water on paper. I lay out fragments, textures, images, and try to figure out what’s going on at that moment. What looks like it’s sticking? At the periphery, where the edges overlap — that’s where the interesting stuff often happens. Are those improbable worlds starting to coalesce on their own? Or do they need a little help? BIO In addition to a maker, I have at various times described myself as flâneur, idler in cafes, drinker of tea, smoker of cigars, lover of circus, and unreliable narrator. I’ve lived in Paris for the last eight years and before that in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, New York. And before that in places from West Virginia to Hawaii. Along the way I’ve collected several degrees, worked at a wide variety of jobs including at a truck farm co-op in Ohio and as an “organizational effectiveness” specialist at a large hospital in New York City. Before spending my time on collages, I was a jeweler/metalsmith. ARTIST CONTACT IMAGES
