Within Collis practice, everyday objects and surfaces are presented splattered and stained with the
marks of wear and tear, and the
viewer might,
upon further investigation, realise that the timeworn flecks of paint that cover an old broom, are in fact delicate and precisely inlaid pearls, jasper, turquoise, garnets and black diamonds.
Upon entering the gallery, the
viewer was greeted by huge distorted figures in a body of work that
marked the artist's fourth solo exhibition with the gallery.
