Kerry Morrison is an environmental artist with a profound connection to urban nature. She immerses herself in the city's natural world through various methods like walking, talking, listening, drawing, photography, ethnography, data collection, and performance, delving into the ecology and culture of these environments. Kerry is driven by questions about our urban perceptions of nature and the factors that influence our choices in conservation and eradication. Her practice involves performative investigations and spontaneous conversations within the urban landscape, emphasizing people and place. Her approach is a transdisciplinary and collaborative journey that integrates political, cultural, ecological, social, and philosophical viewpoints on nature. Notably, she pursued a PhD in Environmental Science at the University of Salford, focusing on the cultural value of unmanaged brownfield sites in urban areas. In 2011, she co-founded in-situ, a non-profit artist-led initiative, dedicated to exploring art, environment, and culture in Brierfield, Nelson, and Colne.
