Kerry Phillips is an artist and educator who lives and works in Miami, Florida. She is an installation artist whose artwork borders on performance and social practice. Her work with found objects is intuitive, often site-specific, and steeped in remembrance and storytelling. She uses common objects in unexpected ways, working collaboratively with viewer-participants to reveal an exchange of value, the importance and limitations of memory, and the vitality of play.
