Hello.

I’m Kerri, an interdisciplinary creative practitioner who works across education, engagement and cultural production. The work I produce spans organising, film, performance, sound, text, games and sculpture; often involving collaborative process and embracing elements of chance. For the past nine years I have worked with arts organisations, community interest companies, third sector charities, artist-led collectives, further and higher education.

I have a specific interest in the place where transformative processes meet lived experience, improvisation and play. Using methods adapted from forum theatre, games, punk, fluxus and social practice I design and facilitate interventions and/or cultural projects that centre experimentation, collaboration poetics and mutual aid. As an artist first, I approach education, engagement or evaluation contexts with this hat - using horizontal, experiential and convivial modes to learn by doing and produce different knowledge, together.

I have recently moved back to my home city of Perth, WA after living in the UK for almost 15 years where I graduated with a first class degree in Fine Art from Middlesex University, London (2014). Since, my creative practice has been commissioned, programmed and supported by a number of awards, organisations and funders including individual work, a long term collaboration with artist Sophie Chapman (website here) and performances with the band molejoy.

In 2018, I became a fellow of the Higher Education Academy and hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Academic Practice Art, Design and Communication from University of the Arts London after teaching across disciplines within their careers team. Over the years, I have worked at a number of UK based universities and colleges as well as delivered workshops for a wide range of different ages, peoples and contexts. I am particularly interested in the politics of collaboration, asset based community development and committed to working towards equity of access to creative learning.
