Artist Bio

Dennehy’s research-based practice employs sculpture, printmaking, video and performance, with influences from philosophy, history and mythology. Her work explores the space between culture, art and resistance, drawing parallels between revolutionary periods in history and contemporary society.  Her work serves as a testing ground to investigate the ongoing colonial legacies that exist within our cultural subconscious.
