artist statement

Colin Christy is an Oakland-based artist, and looks for unusual moments hidden in plain sight. Colin creates installations, sculptures, and drawings that subvert designs that maintain the facade of the American Dream. Colin‘s curiosity in the design of the American Dream and the way this dream has designed America has led him to investigate its appearance in multiple facets. His work has explored themes such as the democratic lawn in suburbia, domesticated wildernesses in the American West, and the discomfort in confronting the housing crisis in the Bay Area.
