Max Colby (born 1990) is an artist known for her work in textiles, sculpture, installation, embroidery, and painting. Her work highlights precarity and vulnerability through a consistent investigation of ritual objects, most often, funereal. Touching on such ceremonial iconography, the artist constructs objects which subvert the aesthetics of patriarchal systems. [1] To her, Colby's process is about undoing the conditioning of "inherited cultural understandings of binary gender, as well as class and taste."[2] Colby's elaborate work in installation utilizing beads, faux flowers, sequins, ribbons, fabric and jewelry is a flamboyant celebration of self-expression through the artist's meticulous process of utopian construction of a universe.[3]
