Over the past two years Kim Ferrer has used discarded crates, left as waste along the side of the road or in empty lots as containers for human emotions. Filling these once purposeful, now displaced forms with human feelings, intimate thoughts and personal experiences, Kim transforms these crates from cold, hard, mechanical and sterile shells into vessels that embody a soul and speak to the contrast between industry and humanity. This show is intended to give the viewer the opportunity to witness the rebirth of a once functional item into an expressive container that has its own character, personality and story.

Kim Ferrer has been a working artist for the past 28 years and recently received an MFA degree from Colorado State University in Fort Collins.
