Kerry Davis (he/him) is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans photography, installation and assemblage. His work often recontextualizes mainstream imagery to critique sociopolitical views and the commodification of the natural world. By delving into the relationships between capitalistic culture, art and the environment, his work presents challenging commentaries on social attitudes and institutions. Kerry studied filmmaking at Portland State University and photography at Portland Community College and Oregon College of Art and Craft. His work has been featured in numerous publications and exhibited throughout the Pacific Northwest, including at SOIL Gallery in Seattle, Portland State University’s Littman Gallery, and Southern Oregon University’s Schneider Museum of Art. He has been awarded grants from the Regional Arts & Culture Council. Kerry and his wife/collaborator, Anna Daedalus, cofounded Roll-Up Gallery in Portland, Oregon. The team’s 7 major projects have focused on themes of interdependence, the Anthropocene epoch and geologic time. Their work often employs a hands-on approach to foreground physical, tactile experience and the ideas of presence and immediacy. Their 2021 project and publication, Palus, is a meditation on the tidal flow of a Sitka spruce swamp, and arose from a remote residency with Oxygen Art Centre in Nelson, BC. Through outdoor installations, time-based processes and alternative photographic techniques, their recent place-based work contemplates impermanence, both in process and outcome. Kerry and Anna live and work in Southwest Washington State, near the mouth of the Columbia River. www.kerrydavisart.com
