Mike Kelley is best known for his stitched doll bought objects. His works of art are constructed of pieces of fabric stitched together to form an object which resembles sock puppets. He is inspired by diverse sources including history, philosophy, politics, rock music, decorative arts and working class artistic expression. His work references and examines gender and class roles as well as other issues such as normality, criminality, and perversion. Below are some examples of his work. The first picture shows a quilt like piece which has different types of fabrics stitched onto it. While his pieces have deeper meanings, they are very childlike. This characteristic can mostly be attributed to the material in which the art work is made out of.
