Forms of Agency
Madeleine Kelly
In these paintings, signs of creativity, sustenance and fertility, unfold within a rectilinear dream world. Smooth surfaces and seamless paint depict forms that evolve within geometric patterns or architechtonic forms. Abstracted human bodies suggest an interior life where domestic connotations ride on bodily ones. Their effects are founded on contagion and give rise to metaphor and association. The resulting figures fuse with grounds in careful balance so that the life of the image presents as a force that offers new forms of agency to question a world that is flourishing unsustainably.
