Body of Work is a narrative of discovery, resilience, memory, healing, and transformation. Through my artistic process, I use my physical form as a brush, creating intimate impressions with paint, later embellished with gold drawings. Inspired by Kintsugi philosophy, my art celebrates the beauty of repair and brokenness. I delve into the impact of trauma on the mind, body, memory, which disrupts our connection to self, making tangible the integrated history within.

Shadows hold symbolic significance, often used to convey depth, contrast, and the interplay between light and darkness. They represent hidden aspects, mystery, or the subconscious. Exploring shadows, I delve into the complexity of emotions, unveiling obscured facets of existence or the nuanced interplay between memories and the present.

Impressions. It is the act of creating a mark or indent, conveying texture, emotion, or form. Using paint and my body, I leave imprints and marks on a surface, capturing the essence of movement and emotion. These impressions become a tangible record of my interaction with the medium, embodying a unique expression. They relate to the lasting effects and memories left within my body by experiences and encounters.

“Portals,” combines found black and white magazine images with abstract paintings, resulting in compositions that function as gateways to alternate dimensions. Through this fusion, viewers are invited to transcend the ordinary and explore realms where the tangible intersects with the abstract. By juxtaposing recognizable elements with abstract forms, my work serves as a metaphorical portal between the known and the unknown, the visible and the unseen.
Looking Isn't Seeing' navigates between perception and comprehension using collage, paint and photography. Each artwork layers fragments of imagery, texture, and symbolism, prompting viewers to contemplate the essence of sight and embrace perception's transformative potential.

Connections is a body of work created with chance and deliberate encounters. Relying heavily on images of people, forms intersect creating new narratives of identity, intimacy, relationships and gender.
"Connections" can have various meanings depending on the context. In a general sense, it refers to the links or relationships between different elements or individuals. In art, it might signify the relationships between various elements within a composition, creating a harmonious whole. In a broader context, "connections" can relate to interpersonal relationships, networking, or the associations formed between ideas, concepts, or events. The term embodies the idea of linking or joining disparate elements in a way that fosters understanding, coherence, or collaboration.
The deliberate connections forged within Coleman's work reflect a deep engagement with these themes, inviting viewers to contemplate the fluidity and complexity of gendered identities.
Through the lens of collage, Coleman navigates the ever-evolving landscape of gender and the body, challenging conventional notions and inviting viewers to engage in a process of reflection and dialogue.
These collages are made, photographed and disassembled further referencing the often fleeting nature of relationships and identity.
Body/Ghost includes a body of work consisting of watercolour mono-prints on somerset paper.
