“Multiplicity” is a series of abstract representations of nature that artist Kelsey Wishik created to reflect how interactions between multiple small parts create a collective microcosm. The works are formed from metallic pieces—some silver and others muted natural tones—that curve and spiral around each other, reflecting things like the leaves and stems of their natural counterparts. The sculptures explore the outer world, including these flora, fauna and fungi, but also Wishik’s inner world of personal experience, dreams and emotions. These ideas are brought together through her distinctive sense of composition, color and shape. Wishik’s multimedia work explores many other themes such as consciousness, identity and spirituality, and has been exhibited both nationally and internationally, including in the National Museum for Women in the Arts.
