Kathryn Kerr Artist Talk

Kathryn Kerr is a New York based artist who received her MFA from Yale in 2018. Her paintings are made like a memoir- notebook of events, dreams, maps, circumstances, recollections, and meetings. With precise scrutiny of the observed and inner world, the work uses the specifics of connections, such as remembered encounter or a hands delicate touch to vault a perceived space, to grapple with a burning present. This results in a body of work that desires to magnify the smallness within and to clarify the muddiness of being alive.
