ARTISTS STATEMENT
My parents grew up on family farms. One grandmother collected things (kept things) and the other was a Grand Storyteller. Both influenced me greatly. This is my work — retelling the story through kept objects. The stories we live everyday, the stories we remember and the ones we desperately try to forget. Ours is a shared story — and we’re lost when we forget this. And we’ve forgotten for some time now.
I make sculpture, installation & performance using common yet beautifully rich objects, often overlooked, available in a given place at a given time from things found to collected experiences and retold stories.
My work honors the memory the object holds — of those who have touched it, loved it, passed it down, left it behind, used it, and eventually discarded it — and beckons you to see anew your relationships and your stories reflected in the objects and stories assembled together.
Kerry Phillips has shown extensively in Miami including projects with Locust Projects, the Miami Art Museum, the Art & Culture Center of Hollywood, the Girls’ Club Collection & Bridge Red Studios Project Space. In 2010 she won Best in Show at the Boca Raton Museum of Art’s annual All Florida juried exhibition. She has received other grants for her art making from public and private organizations as well as residencies and shows in Vermont, New York, North Carolina, Berlin, Krakow and France.
