Limited Edition of 5 Pigment print on museum quality Exhibition Fibre (SOLD AS PRINT ONLY) Delivered with signed and embossed certificate of authenticity -------------------- From the Series // Water Brother: Dedicated to my brother Stuart, who died in 2001. These images are part of an ongoing series of landscapes and waterscapes captured on and near lakes, rivers and oceans. Combined images from Paraguay, Aruba, Argentina, Brazil, Japan, Cuba, USA and all over Canada. I’ve learned to rearrange my longing for my departed brother, by celebrating his existence through epic imagery. I now see him in all forms of waters’ change. He is part of the cycle, a body gone back to the molecular beginnings we all come from. He is a shape shifter and these are my visual meditations. This series "Dreams I Wish I Had" - is a continuation from Water Brother. This work explores the fantasy of flight, set in the visual meditative space that is a form of my brother’s existence. A semblance of nostalgic desire to share life as epic, natural beauty scapes. The images presented here are made up of multiple layers and combinations of captures, sculpted together to create a larger story. Each detailed nuance and gesture of cloud and waters’ surface is a character. They are carefully painted into a choreographed dance. Intended for immensely large scale, an emphasis on highly detailed aesthetics seduces the viewer into the feeling of flight. The triptych of oceanscapes align when hung strategically as do the diptych of skyscapes. // All sizes in the edition available: - 60" x 60" edition of 5 - 42" x 42"" edition of 7 - 24" x 24" edition of 10

Currently living in San Clemente, California, Kerry is a large-scale photo based artist, originally from Canada. With a conceptual approach, she absorbs remembrance into her daily practice with a focus on highly detailed and colorful aesthetics. In 2011, she lost her brother Stuart. This inspired a life-long devotion to creating epic imagery to meditate on and consolidate her loss as well as propel tributes to him into tangible visuals. Her translation of longing into allurement emerge as large scale, often mystically surreal, pigment prints. Her work explores the ever evolving, consequential, perpetual flow of nature and the elaborately beautiful. Her background as a modern dancer and traditional painter is evident in her elegant, choreographic approach to complicated elements. Her seamless illustrations are made up of often hundreds of images and layers, painted into a distinctly effortless composition. Kerry’s work was first published in Magenta Foundation’s 2006 Carte Blanche, a book of 200 of Canada’s best photographers. She has since been included perpetual publications of Magenta’s Flash Forward, celebrating the best emerging photographers from Canada, USA and UK. She had her television debut on Fashion Television’s documentary “Naked in the House” in 2004. After graduating with an Honors BFA, she was invited to an artist residency in Canserrat, Spain to further develop her artistic practice. Most recently, an image from her acclaimed series “Water Brother: Dreams I Wish I Had” was installed as a large scale print in the Financial District of Toronto as an 8 foot x 12 foot piece. Among other awards, she has been featured in Applied Arts, Graphis and Communication Arts.
