Throughout her childhood, Coleby remembers disassociating herself from her body, questioning aspects of her being and how others perceive them. But even with this awareness, she has been unable to elude conditioning’s grasp. At some point, Coleby pivoted from investigating to accepting - accepting narratives she was told were hers despite never holding a writing credit. Though she found that she did this for many years, one cannot fight their nature.
Self-reflection is an intrinsic aspect of her art practice. Through her graphic collages, she examines personal and collective/ancestral relationships to trauma and conditioning. It’s hard to distinguish which experiences inform rather than define our identity. Coleby’s work aims to explore this grey area, while questioning our healing, and to cultivate our individual and collective narratives through these events.
