Kelly’s multidisciplinary practice centers oral history and ancestral memory, real and imagined, woven into the fabric of the Africana Diaspora. Her work is deeply invested in labor intensive making, slowness, and home-spun passed down processes. Her current work in papermaking, textiles, and printmaking stems from ancestral origin points in the American South and Caribbean. Kelly’s practice references and constructs mythologies that find their roots in marronage, masquerade, and protective gestures of the Diaspora.
