Jarret Earnest interviewed
Keltie Ferris last year for the
Brooklyn Rail. He asked Ferris about the relationship between his paintings, theater space and dance.
I like the idea of my paintings being actors—I don’t know that I’ve ever thought of them as dancers. I think of them as people walking down the street, they have a personhood or selfhood that is visible in their smallest actions. Each of my paintings has its own personality, in a way that the best dance uses the unnamable stuff of the dancer; it’s not just the choreographer placing everything onto them, they are not just drones that enact this perfect score in a choreographer’s mind.
