After spending several years collecting vintage objects and books during his travels, Kerr was inspired to turn his collection into some form of art.
The Works on Paper series (2020-2021) exposes the predictability of our pre-pandemic routines, like a book we know cover to cover. And much like the pages of these books, everything normal has been pulled out of our hands.
These works give language to the feelings of hope we may struggle to find and remind us of how we have grown.
Now, inside is a new story using pops of color that uplift and symbolize brighter days ahead. The artist hopes that we remain positive while reflecting inward and not burning through this time but soak it in, grow from it, and have these pieces be a reminder that hope begins in the dark.
