    PURPOSE

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

     

    OVERVIEW

    Kerry Lemon Ltd exists to create site-specific public artworks that foster ecological empathy, This practice delivers permanent and temporary commissions that reconnect communities to local biodiversity. With a strong emphasis on sustainability, each project focuses on improving the biodiversity of the site and  is independently carbon calculated. The work translates scientific research into accessible, place-based experiences that inspire positive behavioural change, while also mentoring emerging womxn artists and embedding community voices throughout the design process. This purpose positions art at the intersection of environmental regeneration and social impact - strengthening its reputation with civic, cultural and commercial commissioners, and ensuring its work delivers measurable, lasting value for both people and planet.

     

    SUSTAINABILITY - 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 2025 is available to download from here .

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

    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.
