Traci Kelly is an interdisciplinary artist whose work spans performance, installation, sculpture and text. Her research investigates intersubjectivity and ideas of skin, often through performative processes of un/touch but more recently through sculptural materiality. Embodied knowledge and perception are key aspects of her interest in improvising gestures in the landscape, where the air has flavour, the ground taste and the skin responds to prevailing conditions. Kelly resides in Stuttgart, Germany and retains close links to her hometown Nottingham, UK.
