Description

Acrylic Paint on canvas, ready to hang.
Kerry captured this image from a film still of the unofficial film clip for the Odesza song "Sun Models ft. Madelyn Grant". She wanted to capture the youthful and freeing feeling with colour and movement as the surfer girl duck dives under the surface in the swell and bubbles. To do this she has used contrasting colours in teal and magenta along with the cool greens and ocean blues of the background. In this rectangular composition of an underwater world, the light highlights her head as she rises to the surface. Kerry has developed her style using contemporary art techniques such as expressionism and pop art.
Named after a line in Adrienne Rich's poem ‘Diving into the Wreck’ where Rich is said to have used the prose as a metaphor for equality - she is both mermaid and merman under the water. Nothing quite as liberating as seeing a young woman take on surfing.

Concept

I’m interested in strong beautiful resilient women. These strong beautiful resilient women can be seen in my current body of work - standing in, emerging from, or swimming through, water. For me the most amazing thing about being underwater is that the rest of the world disappears for a while. There are no distractions or stress - just quietness.
The light is filtered and flickering, and beautiful reflections are created. The whole scene is blanketed in this cool, flowing, bubbly sensation. My models hair and clothing move with the water while they are suspended in the water - floating in a nurturing, freeing, and healing space. I like to give my viewers a sense of a magical but uplifted world.
On my personal journey this is a place where I want to be.

What kind of hardware should I use for hanging the artwork?

If you are concerned about repayment costs, such as when renting a house, wall pins and hooks that do not leave noticeable hole marks are available at major DIY Store and art supply stores.

If you want to hang a canvas with a hook, a hook type with a long hooking surface, such as a V-shaped type is recommended.

If there is a string on the back of the canvas or the back of the frame, you can hang it with a pin type that has a short hooking surface.
