” Perhaps the most vital part of my creative practice is connection. ”
— Skye
SHE/HER
THE ARTIST
Tāmaki Makaurau based artist Skye Kelly has a creative practice that spans painting, collage, ceramics, installation, theatre and teaching.
Skye uses art as a way to explore, challenge and stay critical of ideas and social norms that are widely accepted in our current society, and why so many of them are not beneficial to our well-being.
She reflects on unrealistic beauty standards, mental health and what it's like to be part of the LGBTQIA+ community. Process is an integral part of her art practice and narratives weave through her work in often playful or humorous ways.
