Collin's work revolves around an exploration of environmental epistemics,
taking as his point of departure the interstices of knowledge, governmentality,
and phenomenology as they pertain to a culturally discursive formation of “nature”.
Through a multidisciplinary approach to artistic production – which includes
sculpture, performance, printmaking, video, photography, and language –
he seeks to unmask the dualistic semiotic regime of nature as a product of
economic and cultural forces which has created the cognitive and physical

alienation underlying today’s dire environmental situation.
