ARTIST’S STATEMENT
Kelcy is intrigued by the dimensionality of people. She considers her human experience through the lens of patterns, illusions, repetition and pathways. Kelcy wants their work to uplift and pedestal the most unique of earth's community. They want to share how these similarities and uniquenesses bond and divide us, creating many forms of togetherness as well as loneliness, constantly affecting each of our senses of belonging and self understanding.
Informed by pop art, Kelcy enjoys creating contrast between the intimacy of the application and the mechanical shapes produced. Using patterns and repetition, Kelcy attempts to package relatable, complex subjects into intricate, captivating compositions.
