Greg Colson's 'Yacht Model of Integrity' is one of his signature wall reliefs, a medium he employs in various works. Colson's art is characterized by the direct way he integrates material and conceptual elements. His constructions display precise systems that are disrupted by the contexts in which they are placed. Although they are abstract in many ways, Colson's works feature titles that refer to analyses of everyday activities—self-reflection in this case, spending habits in 'Dutch Consumption in Two-Person Households' (2002), or the relationship between hours spent and work done in 'Productivity Index' (2008).
By highlighting poetry and humor in our social patterns, Colson reflects on the world around him as an observer rather than as a cog in the machinery of society. In 'Yacht Model of Integrity,' Colson seeks to evoke self-awareness in the viewer. He presents both the visible and invisible facets of one's life, thereby emphasizing the inner worlds of individuals. This work aims to encourage the viewer to reflect on their own integrity and how personal values manifest in daily reality.
