About
Kelly Van Looveren’s (site-specific) work orientates the
viewer through the sharing of experiences. By making the
relationship with ourselves and our surroundings tangible,
she creates a deeper understanding of perception and our
relationship within space and time. Through creating an
awareness of point of view, perspective and position, she
anchors the viewer in the here and now.
Her work functions as thought-experiments that take shape
in the mind of the viewer. By showing our known reality in
a new light, she creates new ways of perceiving. Driven by
an ecological awareness and a desire to reconnect with
ourselves, others and nature she hopes to break from what
Yoko Ono calls the irrational rationality.
