Cal Poly University Art Gallery is excited to announce the opening of Kerri Conlon’s “Permission Structures,” running from Nov. 6 to Dec. 5. Come see it at the University Art Gallery Monday through Friday between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m.

 

Kerri Conlon is an artist and educator living and working in San Francisco, Calif. She received her MFA in Sculpture from the Yale School of Art in 2019 and her BFA in Sculpture from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2009. 

 

Her practice explores the intersections of construction — both architectural and cultural — investigating how identity and space are shaped by structures that are at once physical and ideological.

 

Working with craft and architectural materials, Conlon creates large-scale sculptural installations that fuse the ornamental with the structural. Her work uses tactile processes to examine how we inhabit, uphold and challenge the frameworks that shape our lives — whether built, inherited or imagined.
