About Me
- Kelley McCarthy
- The Sensation of Being: My work uses the human figure, animals, everyday objects, fleshy beings, and color metaphorically to depict human experience, contradiction, vulnerability, passage of time, rhythym, and memory; All components in the sensation of being. By trying to engage the viewer by use of layering, I hope to create a visual depth, a sense that there is more than first meets the eye to be discovered in the painting. I feel my paintings are interpretations rather than compositions. I enjoy the sum of parts, and the juxtapositioning of the natural and the manufactured.
The Past
story
1. I had
a dream
that the only
way
i could maneuvre
in the outside
world
was by walking
backwards
seeing where
I was going
only by holding up
a small mirror
to reflect the
oncoming traffic
of people, cars
children, obstacles
The thought
of turning
around
and going on
face
forward
was
terrifying
to me.
the only
way
I could
go
through life
was by
living
in a perpetual
state of
looking back,
acting
like
what was happening
had
already
happened
and therefore
was over
so
there
was
nothing
to be
afraid of
