Lost in Light III, 2014.
Rvelation Blues, 2013.
Casuality of a power Ballard 2015.
Working with a variety of techniques and forms such as delicate ink paper tapestries, large-scale quilts, printmaking, embroidery and ceramics, and with a narrative and process driven approach, Keck ventures to decipher the transient natural world and her place within it. The fragile materiality of her work closely mirrors her working concepts and the emotional play of creation and storytelling.
Keck currently lives and works as an artist in Cape Town. (text Commune1 Gallery)
