    SUSTAINABILITY

    "The planet doesn’t need a few of us doing this perfectly – it needs all of us trying" Katie Treggiden 

     

    PEOPLE & PLANET

    Artists are currently working in a climate emergency and Kerry is responding by collaborating with scientists at the Nature Connectedness Research Group (Derby University) to inform her activities. Human dislocation from the land and all of its diversity, has created a threefold crisis of mental ill-health, global warming and biodiversity loss. Kerry is reacting with artworks designed to explore and develop a stronger empathy between humans and our planet to protect the wellbeing of both.

    Kerry Lemon Ltd is a certified B Corporation® which is a rigorous, evidence based accreditation of socially and environmentally responsible practices. Her most recent B Corporation Impact Report 2024 is available to download from here .

    MENTORING 

    Kerry voluntarily mentors an emerging artist (self identifying as femxle/neutral) local to every public art commission she undertakes. This is to leave a skills legacy in the area by supporting womxn to develop the confidence required to create monumental public realm sculpture. 

     

    EMPLOYMENT FOR WOMXN

    Kerry is committed to creating remote, flexible employment opportunities for womxn artists and where possible caring costs are also supported.

    VALUE EXCHANGE 24-25

    Kerry is a successful recipient of the ‘One King’s Impact Fund’ at King’s College London, collaborating with Dr Amanda Lenhardt and supported by partners in The Policy Institute, African Leadership Centre and the Global Shea Alliance. The project Value Exchange seeks to motivate higher-income individuals to mitigate the climate crisis by directly investing in climate-smart agriculture. This twelve month sci-art collaboration of impact-driven work will develop an online platform where our investors’ emotional responses will be studied to understand how individuals can be motivated towards climate action.

    BIO-DIVERSITY - REGENERATIVE SUSTAINABILITY

    Kerry frequently enhances biodiversity by the subtle integration of habitat restoration in her sculpture. Recent examples have ensured a rich legacy by incorporating hedgehog, bug and bat homes to create a symbiotic relationship between the art and its local ecology. 

     

    CLIMATE CHANGE - SUSTAINABLE MATERIALS

    Kerry prioritises material and structural lifespan and creates robust artworks designed for continuous reuse. Each project is unique and she considers a radical series of approaches including developing partnerships with industry and dismantling sites for suitable waste to recycle, reuse, upcycle or hack.

    2024 - RAINFOREST FOUNDATION UK

Her charity of choice for 2024 is Rainforest Foundation UK who support forest communities to gain land rights, challenge destructive industries, manage their forests and protect their environment. Kerry is donating her time to this year to design a creative, immersive, sensory event to celebrate RFUK's 35 year anniversary.
