ABOUT KERRY MANSFIELD
Kerry Mansfield is a San Francisco based photographer whose work explores time and how it affects our perceptions of what we see and the world it envelops. Born in New Jersey in 1974, Kerry graduated with a Bachelor’s Degree in Photography from UC Berkeley and did further studies at CCA (California College of the Arts) to refine her sense of space and architecture.
Kerry Mansfield’s work has been exhibited globally and garnered numerous honors including LensCulture’s Single Image Award, multiple World Photography Organization, PX3 and IPA Awards, and as a Critical Mass Finalist for three years. A host of press and publications, ranging from the Time Lightbox to the New York Times LensBlog, have featured several of her bodies of work. Kerry’s Expired series monograph was released in spring 2017 and accompanied by solo exhibitions in several major U.S. Cities. Her new series, entitled Threshold, was released in late spring 2017 and has been shown in several exhibitions. She's currently creating a new body of work focused on tidal shifts as a metaphor for how time alters memories.
