eet creative visionary
Kellie North, an artist whose aesthetic style
marries photography and painting with
eloquent ease, enrapturing the viewer with
hypnotic folds of fabric, rustic charm and the
feminine figure. From the Golden Coast of
Australia, North will draw your attention and
arrest your admiration.
“I love the human form,” says North, whose
photography explores female subjects contorted
into physically expressive movements, caught in
the current of passionate experience:
“My work has often been described as highly
emotive, feminine, sad, dark, strong, lonely and
vulnerable—all the emotions that women have
often gone through to become the people they are.”
In her self-portrait, Possibilities, North
hunches, curled in a cluster of golden paper
cranes, swathed in matching coloured fabric,
her hair concealing her face. The tendency
to sit back and weigh life’s options can be
exhilarating, awash in a storm of wings that
promise miraculous flight.
