Kay Wood's work dances around a spontaneous and instinctive expression where paintings, clay and collages combine traditional art materials as well as occasional found and other items. An attitude of playfulness is valued as the way to keep the creative door always open.

Mostly abstract to look at, the work can also allude to, or involve, a figurative expression, emanating from an interest in fractal geometry and the infinite unseen intricacies of the universe. This makes fragments an important element in the work, not being subsumed to the whole but asserting their presence within the work. Pieces are often broken up and re-absorbed into new entities. All the work is 'in transit' so to speak - things are only things momentarily - at some point they are subsumed back into the flux, if not in the studio then ultimately, at some future point when they return to their substrate.

Kay's practice has a foundation of accepting, allowing and improvising. Everyone receives experiences, things etc., and transforms them subjectively. In her practice Kay filters her own life and then returns that energy in the form of her creative output as devotional gratitude - as her 'self in world' - a self which, like the work, is always becoming other than, and returning.
