Feels like itâs been yearsâŠ
Weâre back! And so excited to share our latest conversation with artist Madelyn Kellum (@effective___power ).
Kellumâs work approaches what is strange and familiar through an intuitive approach to artmaking that doesnât exactly resist narrative but sidesteps it. Itâs fitting, then, that what Kellum makes in her home and studio in Brooklyn pulls directly from scenes or images in her own life. Whether derived specifically from her native South Florida, New York City, dreams, literature, or whatâs seen on our social media feeds, it is unclear and ultimately doesnât matter much.
