Extracurricular Activity Projective Reconstruction #19 (Shy Satanist)
2004
A fragmented and unsettling vision of adolescent subcultural identity, this two-part work combines photographic processes to reconstruct an ambiguous scene drawn from the psychological terrain of suburban youth. Kelley stages an awkward, theatrical tableau that probes themes of deviance, shame, and the rituals of outsider identity, blurring the line between documentation and fabrication. The pairing of piezo and chromogenic prints underscores the artist's interest in the mechanics of image-making as a tool for excavating repressed social and personal narratives.
