ARTISTS STATEMENT
"the others" is a project begun in 2013, consisting of over 150 small drawings, an exploration of what it means to be visually and culturally “different”. The narrative is vague but exposes “man’s inhumanity to man”, as it explores OTHERNESS.
This faux society of small, almost identical individuals live in caves, are innovative, and generally peaceful. They live invisibly until a group of “humans” discovers them and become alarmed by their appearance and cultural disparities. Once they are uncovered, their way of life leads to fear and misunderstanding. A great upheaval ensues and their way of life is threatened resulting in an explosive end…or is it a new beginning?
Contemporary issues concerning man/woman as he is pitted against nature and society has always been the root of colodny’s practice. She borrows imagery from the internet, newspapers and magazines, and mixes them with her imagination to produce this body of work. The surreal atmosphere of layered compositions leads us to no answers…time and place is not of concern. This series is a surreal and universal appraisal of society today, yesterday and tomorrow.
