About the artist

Anne Kenna Artist

Anne Kenna is interested in what is hidden, forgotten or silenced. This takes her research-led practice into the territory of history, power relations and justice. Her drive to unearth what is not immediately visible, shapes her sculptural response both in terms of mediums and processes.

“There was silence.”
