Kelcey Christen is a multidisciplinary artist who investigates the complexities of power systems, the fight between the synthetic and the natural, and the warping of place and the home. Through a range of recording devices, her work dances between drawing, sculpture, ceramics, printmaking, and sound. She is interested in rebelling against patriarchal systems of order as a community, examining the nuances of craftsmanship within pattern making and ceramic tile making. She looks at how controlled repetitive processes can both contain order and disorder. Her work looks at the intersection of man-made artificial grids and their contrast with organic networks we observe in nature. Recently, she has been using light as a medium of exposure, identifying ways transparencies can be seen as signs of truth, or covering up the truth. She is interested in seeing connections between the garden and her work, using plant-based dyes and weeds to make paper and ink. Using many different patient processes, she looks at ways we can process the systems we live in, slowly and collectively changing the Westernized approach to order.
