Recent work by Kelly Devitt, November 23 - December 11, 2020

Artist Statement

Skin is an outer jacket that we wear to convey identity, intimacy and often vulnerability. Although, many of us try to build layers of skin to avoid exposure, skin betrays us in expressing our true feelings within single moment.

Emotion that is trapped behind a thick layer of epidermis finds a way to seep through the surface at the cellular level. This emotion escapes with force and makes its presents known to all by creating disruptions on the surface of our body.
