A Coincidence of Sound

A Solo Exhibition by Kerry Phillips
June 6 – August 15, 2025

Kerry Phillips approaches her practice in two distinct ways: either with a clear initial concept that guides the development of the work, or through a process of pure intuition—allowing materials and instinct to dictate direction without a predetermined outcome. Coincidence of Sound, the premiere solo exhibition by Phillips at LnS, is rooted in exploring the intuitive power of play and surprise, where the result is as unexpected and delightful to the artist as it is to the viewer.

Grounding the presentation is a magnanimous site-specific installation encapsulating the power of shared narratives, the inherent storytelling capacity of objects, transformation, and the challenge of assumption. For Phillips, making is often a compulsive act—even in the absence of a clear direction. In its entirety, the show is centered on this meditative, labor-intensive processes; it may be an attempt to process grief, make sense of a chaotic world, or restore value to objects deemed broken or obsolete. Coincidence of Sound searches within these themes, reaching for a forgotten world resting just at the edge of memory.
