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. She repurposes pre-used materials, whenever possible, and has placed them in conversation with steel and wood, sound and performance, writing and film. It is important to her that an audience find an emotional connection to the work, perhaps some unexpected recognition or connection to their own lives or the lives of others or with the question addressed. She makes sculpture to name the unnameable and to shape inner and outer space where risk, fear and doubt often reside.
