STRICTLY LANDSCAPE
Kelly’s work is centred on topographical land and coastalscapes. Walking every morning, she is impelled by the need to move and be in open space to make art.
By allowing herself to be present in a landscape, and to revisit it repetitively, she develops an intensely personal relationship with the area she is absorbing.
The ritual act of walking every day has become the fundamental starting point for her work, capturing both the physicality of moving through space, and the emotions evoked by tracing the routes, tracks, textures, hills, cliffs, sea and fields that she is exploring.
Her work documents the shifts and movements that shape and pattern the natural terrain; including those from the seasons and weather. The geological record of stratified cliffs, and the dips and furrows of a valley transformed over time... The wild fennel that towers above the chaos of Spring colours by a riverbank and along with herself, the eagle mates she knows by sight, keeping careful watch. Drawing her viewer along a path that helps them traverse not simply a landscape, or even a place, but an immersive experience that encapsulates both the temporal and spatial qualities of movement.
Drawings and sketches are crucial to this process, as it is through this exploratory activity that each study is transformed via her memories and thought processes .
