As a visual artist she incorporates a range of methods in her approach to making, including drawing, painting, installation, collage, recording, performance, and sculpture using found objects. Kennedy-McCracken studied at Melbourne University in the arts department during the early nineties, before she left to pursue a career in bands and as a painter. In 2009 she graduated from the Master of Fine Art program at RMIT University. Regarded as a colourist, most of Kennedy-McCracken’s work, including her lyrics and installations, investigate the world from a painting perspective. She uses both small and monumental scales in her work, and explores themes to do with values, nostalgia, memory, culture, representation and nature. She was shortlisted for The Siemens RMIT awards in 2009, for her piece ‘Notation’, made from clothes horses and pegs. Caroline LESS
