LAURA KELLY
Laura Kelly’s practice is drawing-based and explores the space between material presence and suggested illusion. Using the language and forms of landscape and materials which include paper, thread, wire, wood, graphite and tape, she constructs work that moves between the two-dimensional and three-dimensional and varies in scale from installation size to smaller wall-based pieces. Solo exhibitions include Prospect ll, The Drawing Project, Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin; Prospect, Occupy Space@Limerick City Gallery, Co Limerick; A Point Faraway, Talbot Gallery, Dublin. Recent group shows include Hexagon, Mermaid Arts Centre, Bray, Co Wicklow; Royal Ulster Academy (RUA) Exhibition, Belfast; Expansive Traces, Ormston House, Limerick; RuaRed Winter Open, South Dublin Arts Centre, Co Dublin; COE’13, Claremorris, Co Mayo; Royal Academy (RA) Summer Exhibition, London, UK; RHA, Dublin.
