Props (Kelly Caseley)

Kelly Caseley

Kelly Caseley has been creating her large scale art installations for more than a decade now. Based out of Charlottetown PEI she creates props, sets and costumes for both film and theatre productions. This year marks her second time at Lumiere, but she hopes to return someday for a third.

Props

Artist Project

Props’ consists of 4 large scale sculptural pieces suspended in trees. Inspired by architectural details of the Victorian era the pieces are fanciful and brightly coloured. Based on corbels (decorative brackets) they give the illusion of holding or propping up the tree branches. Two of these props were inspired by the architecture of Charlottetown PEI, and two are inspired by Sydney’s older homes. Can you spot the difference?

Land Acknowledgement

With construction still underway in Downtown Sydney, the festival will be hosted at Eltuek Arts Centre for this year. In line with Eltuek Arts Centre's land acknowledgment, we recognize that this festival occurs on the traditional and unceded ancestral territories of the Mi'kma'ki people.

Eltuek Arts Centre is in Unama'ki, one of the seven traditional and unceded ancestral districts of the people of Mi'kma'ki. This territory is covered by the Treaties of Peace and Friendship which the Mi'kmaq first signed with the British Crown in 1726.

We wish to recognize and honour this understanding of the lands on which we reside. It is from here, on these lands, that we work to create and support a culture of self-reliance and vibrancy on Unama'ki (Cape Breton Island).
