Finding solace in queer expressions of intimacy, Colleen explores reimagined patterns of connection through two central characters, setting, and self. Informed by an upbringing in Atlanta, Colleen's work recontextualizes familiar Southern experiences, drawing inspiration from folk music, Southern landscapes, and ideas of love and home. Colleen aims to embody the auric experience of intimacy found in interactions with others and the surrounding environment. Abstraction and figural depictions of connection find balance in Colleen's work through the use of color, proportion, distance, and pattern. Concurrently, ideas of presence and reflection are highlighted through the similarity of both figures, offering an interpretation of queer intimacy and a reflection of oneself.
