About Benjamin
A current resident of Baltimore, Maryland, Benjamin Kelley was born and raised in Flushing, Michigan. He received a BFA in sculpture from Central Michigan University and an MFA from the Rinehart School of Sculpture at the Maryland Institute College of Art. With motives driven by the smell of oak, high heels on glass, and the elegance of precision, Kelley re-contextualizes found objects with altered and fabricated structures.
