Kimberly R. Heard

Kimberly R. Heard works across painting, sculpture, and installation. Her practice investigates how perception is conditioned by the environments bodies move through, attending to moments when visual recognition gives way to more diffuse forms of sensing. Through fragmentation, coded imagery, and layered material processes, she explores how color, surface, and structure can hold multiple temporal and affective states within a single image.


Their work has exhibited at the Institute of Contemporary Art San Diego, Bread & Salt Gallery, the NAAMCC, The Getty Foundation PST ART: Art & Science Collide, and her work is included in the City of San Diego Civic Art Collection.
