Sara Kerry is a figurative artist who converses with painterly art history, her work visually provokes and pursues systemic creative narratives. Retrospectively, projects have centred on second-wave feminist art, the hippy drop out and escape in landscape. The artworks seek to explore undisclosed spaces between the personal and political, community and individual, subject and object. In the work, there is a curated looking back and an imagining of who, what and where. Ideas focus on the individual and their boundaries, both physical and mental, enforced and self-imposed. Current works in progress are a passionate exploration of symbolic allegory in paint, sculpture, dress-making and embroidery.
