The NO PART OF IT Interview series was
a strain of questions sent to a number of different people between
February and March 2019. Each entry was scheduled chronologically to
be thrust upon the world on a monthly basis since then. Each
individual is introduced informally as if they were being discussed
at a bar.
Scheduled March 2019Kimberly has quietly posted a rigorous amount of art on her facebook page, never to be seen in a gallery. I vaguely remember her saying that she didn't think her work would be suitable in a gallery, in so many words, yet she has gathered a bountiful wealth in a body of work. Her creations are like dollhouses gone tropical and psychedelic, or a nativity scene from a model train set where the alien inhabitants are off in their spaceship collecting trinkets. Always neon in effect, Montiel lives out a sort of image that is an extension of her work. She was once mentioned in NewCity magazine for her concept of maximalism: "More is more".
