Kerrecoe's work, frequently abstract, invariably focuses on the concept of identity. He seems driven by a desire to understand who he is and what makes him that person. Is he little more than a machine, programmed to function in an extremely specific way Is his identity just an elaborate illusion, the result of billions of chemical reactions.
His work appeals to others because so many of us, at one time or another, are forced to confront who we really are we can hide behind a facade for so much of the time but every now and then, inadvertently, we let our true selves show. Kerrecoe expertly taps into the insecurity, the unsettling fear that we are not actually in control of our selves, of our identities.....of who we really are.
