Like the rest of Kelley's works, they represent Kelley's emotions of healing and hope as a way of coping with loss. The videos blur the fine line between the possibility of a child sleeping peacefully and the awful possibility of death. Both works give the viewer a feeling of vulnerability. Kelley's works reflect her goal to connect with the viewer on a universally relevant level. Her art is not biased toward any single group of people because it works with human emotions that are common to all people.
Color is unnecessary.
Kelley's exhibit has set Moon off to a great start this year. The exhibit will run through Sept. 17, so go take a look if you haven't already. This article was originally published in Vol. 91, Issue No. 2, September 2, 1999.
