Kerry Phillips is an installation artist whose artwork borders on performance and social practice. Phillips’ 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. Phillips earned an MFA from University of Arizona and has participated in numerous exhibitions, including at The Bass Museum, Orlando Museum of Art, Pérez Art Museum Miami, MoCA North Miami, and Bridge Red Projects. Recent solo projects include: “Coincidence of Sound” (2025), LnS Gallery and “The patience of ordinary things” (2024), Locust Projects. She’s exhibited and completed residencies in Ohio, Vermont, North Carolina; and internationally in Berlin, Krakow, Mexico, France. Originally from Texas, Phillips works in Miami and, contrary to her family’s wishes, doesn’t paint pretty pictures. Represented by LnS Gallery in Miami.
