Carmen Ky is a printmaker who explores in her work the metaphysical patterns in nature. Many art movements such as Futurism and Rayonism, and others informed by Theosophy, deal with the phenomenon of solid matter dissolving into space.

In Carmen Ky's prints, landscape elements pulsate as if charged by an invisible force and are caught at the moment of metamorphosis, where they are transformed through ritual and ceremony. Each print becomes a record of a physical and spiritual journey, a diary of transformation. In 1995 she noted: "My work has always been concerned with underlying energy structures, rythms of growth and change. Using light and colour to create and dissolve form and transform space. Playing the interface of elements, connecting, penetrating, finding a physical point of interconnectedness, often using landscape and journey as metaphor, with corresponding inner and outer journeys".
