Kerr Holden
Kerr Holden is a multi-disciplinary visual artist whose work includes film production, animation, graphic illustration, and video art. Her practice bounces between live-action and animated forms of image making, playfully experimenting with the connections between the two. Kerr’s film work traces the transformative moments in one’s life, both inside and outside of our bodies. She explores visions of nature, abstractions of movement, and other invisible dramas.
