Kerryx

Nest Perimeter is a creative project born from the depths of Kerryx’s vivid imagination and brought to life through collaboration with the incredible talents of Two Cooks Creative and Rebecca Jarvis Designs.

 

This project was sparked by a simple question: would Kerryx ever perform live again? Her answer was a resolute, “Probably not.” While she admitted to missing the stage, she was quick to elaborate: “I don’t miss anything else about gigs—the catering to the whims of bookers and venues, the audiences, and the necessity of sucking up to a scene that’s gotten progressively worse and less tolerable while paying less with worsening conditions.” Jokingly, she added, “Maybe I’ll just film a clip. That way, I’m in control of the creation and can do exactly as I please without worrying about being ‘bookable’ or audience-friendly.” And just like that, the seed was planted.

 

The idea began to take root when she recalled an unreleased track she had heard on a podcast years earlier. The track featured members of the legendary experimental doom band Khanate—specifically Alan Dubin (Gnaw, OLD, etc) and James Plotkin (Plotkinworks, OLD, etc.). Once she secured their permission to use the track, Kerryx knew the song “Nest Perimeter” by Shadowcast was a perfect fit. Its obscure, compelling sound, paired with Dubin’s signature demented screeching, resonated deeply with her vision. The track provided an ideal foundation for Kerryx’s dark dance storytelling and character work, known for its discomforting yet hypnotic allure.

 

To bring this vision to life, she partnered with longtime friend and colleague Rebecca Jarvis (also known as Betty Blood to fans of the Australian burlesque scene). Together, they began designing the creature and eerie world that would feature in the upcoming clip. Rebecca’s expertise in set design and Kerryx’s signature style as a performer quickly elevated the project beyond its initial concept; It became clear that assembling the right film crew would be crucial to realising their ambitious vision.

 

Enter Two Cooks Creative—the missing piece of the puzzle. With their technical expertise, passion and artistic sensibility, along with next-level prosthetic effects from Nick Kocsis, and a dedicated crew, Nest Perimeter was fully realised and birthed into life.
