Kerry McClain is a photographer & visual artist living and working in San Angelo, Texas.\u00a0 A computer programmer by trade, technology has been a part of his life from a very young age.\u00a0 His father worked for the Burroughs Corporation (later known as Unisys) for 37 years, working first on\u00a0mechanical adding machines, then\u00a0vacuum tube computers, then\u00a0transistor-based computers, then IC-based computers\u00a0and ultimately on the modern PC.\u00a0 Purely a twist of fate, this exposed Kerry to all things mechanical and electronic from a very young age.<\/p>\n

Kerry was drawn to his first art form, photography,\u00a0over 30 years ago.\u00a0\u00a0His photos\u00a0have won awards and been\u00a0seen in print\u00a0in\u00a0several national publications.\u00a0 When digital cameras first came within his reach, he was fascinated by not only the virtually limitless experimentation afforded by the cameras themselves, but even more by the things that could be done to the photos afterward\u00a0in Photoshop.\u00a0 Blurring the line between reality & fantasy has become commonplace in his photos, mixing anachronistic\u00a0cameras & lenses with state of the art technology to produce his trademark unique photos.<\/p>\n

In 1997, and\u00a0quite by chance, the word “fractal” came to Kerry’s attention.\u00a0 The exquisitely detailed, seemingly infinitely varied shapes, forms and colors\u00a0proved to be an intense\u00a0fascination, and he began exploring this medium he had not encountered previously.\u00a0 He knew early on that the mix of esoteric mathematics and ever-increasing computational power was a force to be reckoned with, and he’s been exploring this purely digital medium ever since.\u00a0 His first one-man show in 1999\u00a0was called Bit Depth, hosted in the first cyber-cafe in Dallas (the now defunct Hi Octane Johnny’s).\u00a0 As time passed and experience grew, it was a very natural progression to apply\u00a0his\u00a0trademark photographic manipulation techniques to these fantastic digital images,\u00a0culminating in his most recent body of work which can be seen on this website.<\/p>\n

Kerry currently shows and exhibits both his photos and his digital art in the West Texas area.<\/p>\n
