Research Profile
Collins’s area of practice includes public art, large outdoor sculpture, installation art and Liturgical art. The theme of his creative work often deals with political and social issues. He currently has work on view at: Lincolnwood Sculpture Park, Lincolnwood, IL; 900 Massachusetts Avenue, Indianapolis, IN; Western Michigan University, Kalamazoo, MI; University of Indianapolis, Indianapolis, IN; and Appalachian State University, Boone, NC. Represented by Wood Street Gallery and Sculpture Garden, Collins’s work is in 30 private and public collections. His current project is a series of installations entitled, Technophilia. These installations are a reflection of society's pervasive use of technology, which has improved all of our lives in the efficient use of time, communication of ideas and global awareness. Conversely, we have created instant obsolescence that has produced a glut of plastic viscera that promises to bury the earth.
