Jack Kenna (b. 1994, Colorado, USA), a visual artist working on the unceded land of the Musqueam, Squamish, and Tsleil-Waututh peoples (Vancouver, Canada).
Kenna engages with drawing, painting, sculpture, and writing, often blurring the boundaries between media. His works contain a visual vocabulary of objects and motifs that are repeated and reorganized from work to work so as to evolve and complicate meaning over time, utilizing 2- and 3-D media combined with found images, objects, or text.
Sprawling collections of derelict antiques, fragments of abandoned poetry on yellowing notebook paper, images sketched with a finger onto a dusty window - Kenna’s work provides an intimate look into domestic spaces and our relationship to the inanimate worlds we build around ourselves against the backdrop of home confinement.Artwork Details
