Ann Greene Kelly engages materials and subjects sourced from her immediate surroundings. The artist combines everyday objects, such as bricks, baskets, and tires, with personal items, including clothing and used food containers. Through sculpture and drawing, she processes and renders her chosen subjects anew. Negative spaces morph into non-functional passageways or reveal fragmented vignettes from the artist’s own memories and experiences. Within her porous compositions, Kelly merges traces of the body with its built environment and the real with the imagined.
