Boxed Library  

 

Painting only in Ultramarine Blue, Phthalocyanine Turquoise and Titanium White, Kellys box represents the painters who have informed and influenced her practice. Using reclaimed wood and metal to create the external structure, Kellys box also references Lubaina Himid’s ‘Man in a Paper Drawer’, representing figures who have been hidden, and Kaye Donachie’s paintings of archived images of radical women of the early twentieth century.
Kellys box represent all female painters. Some contemporary and some from the cannon, acting as her own personal archival reference, the scale of the paintings is reflective of a book.
