COLLEEN ALCORN they/them
Portrait of a Branch / 2025 / Stained glass, copper foil, solder and found wood / 119 x 56 x 10 cm
I am interested in creating sculptures that reflect internal contrasts, while showcasing the delicacy and fragility of the journey to embodiment. The resulting sculpture intends to represent the transformations that take place within one-self, through the process of challenging learned or imposed assumptions and thus shifting physically. These two pieces highlight the process of becoming, intentionality and outward presentation
