Kelly: Future. Past.

 
 

FUTURE.

Acrylic on canvas. (2023)

This piece is based on an event that happened between myself and an ex-perpetrator. 

I was pregnant at the time, and assaulted with a weapon, refused access to medical treatment. 

The thin impasto drips represent the heavy feeling I got, feeling like there was no way out of this, this was the day I realized that I might just die from this relationship. 

The flowers represent the hope that I had, the hope that I would be able to keep my baby safe and to one day be free from this. 

I use art as my therapy and often will paint or draw out incidents to work through them and just get them out of my head. 

 
 
 


PAST.

This piece is based on an event that happened between myself and an ex-perpetrator.

I was pregnant at the time, and assaulted with a weapon, refused access to medical treatment.

The think impasto drips represent the heavy feeling I got, feeling like there was no way out of this, this was the day I realized that I might just die from this relationship.

The flowers represent the hope that I had, the hope that I would be able to keep my baby safe and to one day be free from this.

I use art as my therapy and often will paint or draw out incidents to work through them and just get them out of my head.
