The improbable appeals to wire artist Kirsty Little, whose creative career began in flight. Little spent many years in her native United Kingdom as an aerial artist in the circus. Ever nimble, she pivoted to studio art once she arrived in Washington, DC. Understandably, she finds this a “grounding experience,” creating forms from cast off kitchen plastics and metals that take on organic shapes. Coarse, protruding, and colorful, we are showing three of Little’s orb-like works, along with a sinewy snake made from recycled metal wire and ribbon. Her process is meditative and rhythmic. “The energetic movement qualities I also discover in wire lure me to exploring the gesture. I aim to find its ‘backbone’, the essence of where the movement comes from,” says the artist. A feminist, activist, and a founding member of Ch/Art: Chevy Chase artists, her work has been shown at The Phillips Collection’s Centennial exhibition, The Athenaeum VA, The Fisher Gallery NOVA, Honfleur gallery and the Katzen Art Center at American University.
