Kellie Gillespie
Kellie Gillespie is an interdisciplinary artist practicing and exploring new concepts of sculptural installation in both Los Angeles, CA and the Washington DC-Baltimore Metropolitan Area. Her work focuses on issues specifically associated with mental health, as well as the concepts of recovery and survivorship. Motivated by her direct personal experiences, she embraces the controversial subject matter of mental illness as she investigates the problematic place it holds in society. Gillespie uses her work to advocate for the destigmatization of mental health and works to break the negative connotations surrounding mental illness. Her work promotes the normalization of mental health and the sharing of one’s own story, allowing others to reach out and finally have a chance to talk about their experiences.
