Copeland Collette, "This will be my last letter to you"
Colette Copeland
A multi-media visual artist and cultural critic/writer whose work examines issues surrounding gender, death and contemporary culture. Sourcing personal narratives and popular media, she utilizes video, photography, performance and sculptural installation to question societal roles and the pervasive influence of media, and technology on our communal enculturation.
Over the past 16 years, her work has been exhibited in 18 solo exhibitions and 87 group exhibitions/festivals spanning 34 countries. She teaches art and digital media at University of Texas and Collin College in Dallas, Texas as well as writes for Glasstire and Eutopia publications. She proudly admits to providing her children with years of “therapy” fodder.
