ADRIANE COLBURN
Bio
Adriane Colburn is an artist based in San Francisco, CA. For the past several years, she 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 systemizing information, (often based on landscapes or history) to create an abstraction that can be both informative and/or ambiguous.
She has exhibited her work at Gallery 16, Bay Area Now 4 (Yerba Buena Center for the Arts), New Langton Arts, Southern Exposure, San Francisco Arts Commission, Stephen Wolf Fine Arts and Luggage Store Gallery (also co-curated the No War show, 2002) in San Francisco. She teaches as a visiting lecturer at Stanford University and The San Francisco Art Institute. Colburn received her MFA from Stanford University and her BFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. She is currently a resident artist at the Kala Art Institute in Berkeley and is a recent recipient of the Eureka Fellowship.
