• Kelly combines contrasting art principles in her entire oeuvre. The haptic-gestural and painterly plein air (informal) and the structured op-art/data vis embroidery (Formal) • Both principles highly contrast each other. They appear to stand separately but function and harmonise as one. She succeeds in depicting and creating her very own view of the world through data visualisations set within the plein air painted backdrops. Because of this clear separation between the painterly and formal embroidered elements its leads to a structural, strict yet playful composition that allows the painting to shine all the more clearly. • The circles are scaled data using the artists own digital footprint. They visualise an online existence usually unseen or touched. • Embroidering the data brings the virtual being alive and tangible. • The transparent circles are an optical illusion achieved by Kelly's highly skilled embroider technique using freehand and digital embroidery.. • The significance of the circle itself represents the natural cycle of life, our journeys from beginning to end. It also embodies the idea of unity and oneness, symbolising the interconnectedness of all things. • The composition of a bouquet came to fruition when the artist was very ill. • The double vision effect attempts to translate the side effects of chemotherapy. • The vibrant colours create a feeling of wellbeing and joy but also an opportunity for philosophical thoughtfulness. • Kelly's double vision bouquets are a landscape, a portrait and a still life as at once.
