The Other Body
2023: A collection in progress.
Past Artistic IDENTITY: MEA/Mea Kelly Marie
Between 2016 and early 2023, Kelly Helsinger created under the name “MEA”, an acronym for her blog, Messy Ever After. Messy Ever After stood for embracing creative whims and accepting the chaos within her artistic identity and direction.
Kelly has created hundreds of works as MEA/Mea Kelly Marie that have found homes around the world, but after assuming her true name, Helsinger, MEA as a collection and identity is finally complete. The following collections are selections from this past body of work.
