Justin Coleman is Assistant Professor of Studio Art at Denison University, and a practicing artist working in sculpture and ceramics. Coleman is a graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design (BFA 05) and the University of Delaware (MFA 17). His experience starts from a base in studio craft and has developed into a more conceptual practice around cultural relationships to objects and a theoretical redefinition of craft. His work includes experience as an arts educator, professional studio assistant, and a practicing artist. His work has been shown in galleries and exhibitions, including the Occupy Museums “Debtfair” show at the 2017 Whitney Biennial. He most recently created an installation for the 2018 Brickscape Residency and is the recipient of a 2018 individual artist grant from The Pittsburgh Foundation.
