BIO & CV
ABOUT KERRY MANSFIELD
Since 2018 Kerry has focused intently on the Intertidal Project delving into how memories form over time when a person is impacted by a place. Her lifelong commitment to document curated locations for the Intertidal Project continues to deepen her awareness of how environmental change impacts both the person and place as layered memories reveal the passage of time.
Born in New Jersey in 1974, Kerry graduated with a Bachelor Degree of Photography from UC Berkeley and currently resides in San Francisco and The Sea Ranch, California. For over two decades she’s made a name for herself in the industry with images concentrated on the concept of time and how it affects our perceptions of what we see and experience.
Her pictures have been featured in numerous publications, exhibited globally, and received various accolades from the photography community. Honors include the LensCulture Single Image Award, multiple World Photography Organization, PX3 and IPA awards. A host of press and publications, ranging from the Time Lightbox to the New York Times LensBlog have featured multiple bodies of work. Kerry’s Expired series monograph, released in spring 2017, was well received and accompanied by solo exhibitions.
