Wendy Kelly - Artist Wendy Kelly is a Melbourne based artist working within the process based abstract art genre (non-objective / non-figurative) in both painting and works on paper. These works are highly disciplined constructions and assert the relevance of geometric abstraction within the current art climate. Both methods and processes incorporate a variety of materials. The use of common thread as a unique mark making tool to create complex lineal rhythms is an important part of these non-figurative works. It is a tool which can be either left imbedded in paint or removed selectively from the surface, and creates a fine complex geometric intepretation within a monochrome aesthetic. It can be used to reflect light, to tear collaged paper, and to create a fine lineal emphasis. This body of work is the result of long term development and research. The works aim for a reflective and calm quality and to allow the viewer respite. It is intended that they are changeable as light changes, and that they have the quality of being slow to 'enter' or engage, yet have a sense of having the ability to be re-visited. 2010
