Finn-Kelcey's work in the late 1960s and 1970s emerged alongside that of increasing numbers of artists concerned with formal experimentation and conceptual practices. Several of the early works consisted of making and flying flags in publicly visible spaces, as in
Power for the People (1972). In this piece, Finn-Kelcey made large flags from silver tissue and black bunting bearing the slogan 'POWER FOR THE PEOPLE', which were hung from
Battersea Power Station in London. Commissioned by the Central Electricity Generating Board, the flags were removed due to complaints from Chelsea residents across the river. Finn-Kelcey's work also appeared in exhibitions and spaces with explicitly feminist agendas, for instance she performed
Mind The Gap as part of
About Time: video, performance and installation by 21 women artists within the 'women's season' at the
Institute of Contemporary Arts in the winter of 1980. Examples of artists Finn-Kelcey exhibited alongside during the 1970s include Carlyle Reedy,
Paul Burwell,
Tina Keane and
David Medalla, all of whom featured in the
London Calling presents Performance Plus exhibition in which Finn-Kelcey performed ''The Boilermaker's Assistant''. Finn-Kelcey also had some involvement in the
Artists For Democracy project, which was chaired by Medalla and based in
Fitzrovia, London. ==Work since the 1980s==
