Work

Sherry's work varies from landscape and studio photography, to collage and sculpture, often with a heavy focus on color. Working with analogue film and printing techniques "the use of anachronistic, primitive methods reflects a concern with craft, introducing the hand of the artist into a medium most commonly associated with mechanical reproduction."[2] Sherry's work often merges human and natural subjects, creating images in which landscapes take on anthropomorphic qualities and the humans in them become part of the landscape, as opposed to inhabitants. [3] His most recent show Astral Desert, at Salon 94 gallery in New York City explores the topography of the desert and American West through multiple processes pushing photography to a "chromatic extreme."[4]
