I Had At the Grocery Store That Spiralled; It Went Up, It Went Down, Then Turned Itself Back Around Again, 2023, Paint on Melamine
Finding the place between idea and reality, Kilbey examines how thoughts can distort and change during the menial tasks of the day such as visiting the supermarket to do the weekly shop. Playing with iconography and the absurd, this triptych follows the narrative of the mind and it’s pathways, and how they tend to fall off into absolute nonsense.
