Kelli Perletti Revised Statement






Art is a form of expression so vital to communicating the human experience. My art is very wrapped up in human identity, and our interpretations of self and others. Through the exploration of these subjects, my work aims to question the individual in relationship to life experience, social constructs, and self-image. 
Through photographic mediums, my work typically portrays a female within a confined psychological space, solo and vulnerable in one way or another. This work also ties into performance pieces of a similar nature, exploring the ideas of sexuality, gender identification, and social expectation. Other areas explored through photography include the relationship between identity and family/childhood identity. 
Through sculptural mediums, I express similar ideas of psychological distress related to sexuality and identity. My sculpture work incorporates found objects and other non-traditional material, including human hair, nylon, trash, etc.
