Persona, Colette (birth name), 1970 - 1978'I create a landscape and become a part of it.' - Colette, 1974
C: Colette is my birth name, inspired by the French author, whom I was named after, I dropped my last name when I began at an early age my art adventure.
In the early 70's I began using the streets as my canvas anonymously... sometimes the police would show up. Simultaneuosly, I was transforming my living space into an inner sculpture. All walls, etc. would be covered with soft fabrics including the furniture... My works soon found its way into prestigious galleries and museums, and gained international recognition. Since I was interested in reaching as many people as possible on as many levels as possible, I continued to exhibit my works in alternative spaces: streets, shop windows, nightclubs...
