That Special Place Between Wake and Sleep by Kerry Inkster I work from found and created photographs. This image was taken at the Sydney Mardi Gras. I was particularly taken with the vibrancy, colour, movement, music, light and darkness - and hoped to capture this in the painting. I have experimented with the surface of the linen - wanting to represent movement through shifts in the surface, I used Japanese Rice paper directly applied to the linen to break up the surface. I particularly liked the way the paint colours once applied would soak in some of the edges of the paper creating a sense of movement. I was also interested in achieving depth in the movement of the paint layers which can be seen in the detail photograph. In this painting I've used high quality artist acrylics, and acrylic mediums, and a high gloss oil based varnish. Artist quality Acrylic and Enamel paint and Japanese Rice Paper on Linen. Signed on the back.

Kerry was born in Wudinna, a remote and tiny dusty town in South Australia, in 1972. This was a time and culture where women weren't allowed in the local pub and were expected to quit work when they got married. She distinctly recalls seeing articles about Jackson Pollock and Andy Warhol as a teenager but thought the art world was a world where she couldn't belong - girls were supposed to marry farmers and have children. After a diversion into a "sensible career" and motherhood, Kerry went back to her passion and was conceptually trained through the South Australian School of Art in 2012, with a Bachelor of Visual Art, Specialisation Painting. During her studies, she turned to her love of stencil-making and action painting techniques with acrylic paint and created her own style. Kerry won the UniSA Medal for her outstanding academic and artistic results, and in 2013 her artwork was selected by top South Australian art-aficionado's, including the then Director of the Art Gallery of South Australia, Nick Mitzevich (now director of the National Gallery of Australia), to participate in The Helpmann Academy Graduate Exhibition - an incredible honour for any SA graduating tertiary art student. Today she works as an underwater photographer and painter from her home studio in Fish Creek, Victoria, Australia. She has participated in many group and solo shows. Her artwork is held in private collections in New Zealand, The United States, Switzerland, Germany, Hong Kong, and throughout Australia. She was selected as a Finalist in the Royal South Australian Society of Arts Portrait prize in 2013, and as a Finalist in the 2021 Bluethumb Art Award. From May to June 2024 she was hosted for a two-month residency in Germany, which was followed by her first international solo show. She was also selected as a Finalist for The Percival Photographic Portrait Prize 2024. Her mission is to uplift women with her art – this is the engine that fires her entire practice.
