Megan Kennedy is visual artist currently residing and working in Melbourne. Seeking intersections between art and the everyday, Megan ‘tinkers’ with found and manufactured objects to create spatially considered installations. Often featuring kinetic or precariously arranged materials, these installations are subject to shift with the passing of time. In a more recent line of enquiry Megan has been examining how past experiences may contribute to an artist’s development of a sculptural language. Through the act of making, she has looked to trace the lineage of significant childhood events in to the current context of her own visual arts practice. Overall Megan’s practice is driven by a fascination with the physical exchanges that occur between things and a thirst for experimentation and play.
Megan graduated from the Victorian College of the Arts with a Bachelor of Fine Art (Honours) in 2017. She was the recipient of the Orloff Family Charitable Trust Scholarship award in 2017, and the Majilis Encouragement Award in 2016.
