Artist Lecture Series: Adriane Colburn

For the past several years, Adriane Colburn has been working on a series of installations and maps that seek to organize and chart changes in the natural and urban landscape. These constructions, made of layers of hand-cut paper, often shed light on systems that exist below or those that are shielded by its exterior.

Colburn maps out these “inaccessible” places, by collating and reorganizing visual information, (often based on landscapes or history) to create an abstraction that can be both informative and/or ambiguous.

She has exhibited her work nationally and throughout the Bay Area at the SF State Fine Arts Gallery, Gallery 16, Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, Wattis Gallery at California College of the Arts, Southern Exposure, Stephen Wolf Fine Arts and Luggage Store Gallery and internationally at the Nordic Watercolor Museum in Sweden and at Artesterium in Tblisi, Ga.
