Growing up in the rural south, Kimberly Davies spent much of her time outside, roaming the creeks and forests of the surrounding countryside. Forts were built. Swings engineered. Sculptures formed. She is a maker of things. She cannot remember a time when she wasn’t. Art was with her at an early age. After receiving an MS in architecture, Kimberly moved to San Francisco. No job. No income. She wanted to work at one firm only. She dropped by three days every week until they hired her. When she and her husband moved to NY in 2001, she started a career as an artist.

Creating layers by collage, I try to simulate a small part of the human condition. Many are constructed of a series of internal barriers, some permanent, some transient, held on literally by a thread. By peeling back the last layer, we can see what lies beneath.
