Imogen Kerr
Graduate Certificate of Visual Art
Through diaristic and familial investigation, I merge the medium, the mark and the maker into one, allowing chance and nature to run its course as I attempt to capture time and place through material permanence.
My practice explores the interconnectedness of memory and life lived across an enduring landscape. I begin by handcrafting my tools and mediums to intimately connect every mark with autobiographical and diaristic investigation. The brushes are made from the tail hairs of my dad’s horses, a passion passed down from my paternal grandmother when they lived in Vanuatu. I handcraft my watercolour paints to reflect my fragmented memory of place. Creating mediums and tools also enables a sustainable response to my environment and connecting ecosystems.
