Ashley Kerr

Born in Sweetwater Tennessee, Ashley Kerr lives and works in South Florida. She received her MFA from Alfred University in the Sculpture and Dimensional Studies program. Kerr graduated Summa Cum Laude with her BFA from Florida Atlantic University where she also received a BS in Computer Science. She was selected as a winner in the International Sculpture Center’s 2018 Outstanding Student Achievement in Contemporary Sculpture Award program, as well as an Honorable Mention in 2016.

Her work deals with the nature of expectation and a person’s need to maintain a consistent internal logic as it pertains to media, materials and experiences as well as the intersection of gender, technology, sculpture, femininity, and masculinity. By subverting those very expectations, she aims to create sculptural fictions that reveal the underlying structures and mechanisms of how we experience the world and thereby expose truths, however small or large they may be.
