Kerry Rogers

Using medical illustrations to form the basis of her sculptural works, mixed-media artist Kerry Rogers plays on texture and colour to mimic the blistering scars caused by allergies, eczema and other skin conditions; magnifying them to a giant scale to confront the viewer with their imposing rawness.

Rogers' fascinations with the skin stems from her own personal allergies to the likes of plasters and latex, materials she in turn uses to create her fleshy artworks. The fact that these products are usually used medically to soothe the skin is a harsh irony which can be felt in the raw, visceral quality of the works.

Although based in Aberdeen, Rogers' work has been widely exhibited across the States; featuring in group shows in New York and Miami.
