Kibby’s practice investigates time and how it relates to self. Her struggle to navigate change as a constant has led to ways of making that center on repetition as meditation. To act again and again with her body in such a way that the mind is stilled. It is an act of rebellion against the fast paced world. Kibby makes objects that are obvious in their labor and force an acknowledgment of the body that crafted them. It is devotional, like a sacred act. In the making she comes closer to some knowledge of herself, or maybe an acceptance of herself, as imperfect and as changeable as anything else.

The sculptures are created from many small parts that act together in their own way. Bowing to the material has taught Kibby how to value the unpredictable and the 'imperfect'; to allow vulnerability into her making. Whether it is ceramic chain links or 'leaves' made from small glass seed beads, the materials connect her to craft traditions where the maker's hand could always been seen in the final object. This mark of humanity connects us through time and space; and leaves her thinking of how interwoven memory and making are. Kibby makes objects as an act of remembrance, of marking time with an object and a feeling. She is connected to the past and future when building something with her hands; each object holds the potential to be know in some way by another person.
