Kerrianne Flett is a visual artist based in Orkney. To date, her sculptural works have variously involved metalworking, casting, ceramics, CAD (computer aided design) and 3D printing. She describes her practice as one that is material led, developed through a process of experimentation and learning new skills in a wide range of disciplines.

Kerrianne is one of 11 artists taking part in the Crisis Residency Programme, 2020/21. With no access to studio space or her usual materials during lockdown in 2020, the artist turned to new ways of working and alternative processes, specifically collaborative and performance practice, involving video and photography, relating and to the conditions and experience of life under lockdown. This residency will allow Kerrianne to review the developments in her work over the past year and to continue to explore new approaches.
