"William Kelly's process of
weaving art through life and community suggests his homage to the modus vivendi of past
ethical engineers such as Leo Tolstoy, Herman Hesse, and Mohandas Gandhi. These men,
like Kelly, were also curious about the physiognomy of their time and motivated to
articulate a better way of being human."
from catalogue essay by Anna Clabburn (Curator)
"Kelly's project operates within the parallel
traditions of moral theory and associated artistic endeavour."
