Article from the Miami New Times, Home Groan, August 17 – 23, 2006. The section on Kerry Phillips reads: On the winning side of Art Center’s coin, Kerry Phillip’s mock suburban remembered House: Kitchen, Cup, Family Portrait oozes a joyful tornado-bait veneer that might be confused with a set from That ‘70s Show. The artist covered a corner of the gallery’s floor with cheap turquoise linoleum tile and added a pea-soup-green couch and a sunflower-yellow kitchen cabinet, in what might be a recreation of her childhood home. Phillips included a trio of large family portraits she made using funky-patterned carpet remnants, rendering the faces if relatives without features other than eyeglasses, which the artist also wears.
