KATE KELLEHER
Much of my art is composed almost entirely of natural, discarded, recycled, or repurposed materials. These components are often salvaged from scrap piles, roadsides, alleyways, or other overlooked or forgotten places fallen through the cracks of our world and in which I probably should not so openly admit to spending my time.
These items keep an inner history of former lives, from the wood that stood as a barn for over a century, to the hinges from Habitat for Humanity which were stripped away to open new doorways for families, to the rusted pieces of decomposing invention and industry back to their true natural states.
