Kelly Barrie:
Trace Elements
March through May, 2010
Kelly Barrie creates photographs that explore the imaginary site where past and present converge. Using found
photographs, the artist reconstructs the image through a performative floor drawing using photo-luminescent
pigment (glo-powder) and his feet, walking out the image on the floor via a series of actions such as toe drags,
heel spins, snake walks and foot sweeps. The artist states “the work is also affected by other phenomena such as
insects and pets leaving their tiny footprints in the night. These unseen collaborators lend credence to the
‘accident’, not only as content, but also as procedure that implies the artist does not have to be present for the
work to continue.”
