Collin focuses on alternative processes that combine photo, paint, and collage. His work is inspired by the blending of science and art. He aims to deconstruct human anatomy and visualize the layers of our bodies and the systems they are comprised of He believes these interweaving patterns are proof that we are all art. Science often provides singular solutions to complex problems while art offers an infinite number of choices; this concept drives Collin to create art. He believes there is a variety of solutions in art, and there is an excess of variables in both the action of creating and viewing.
