My name is Joshua Kennington, and I'm an artist based in Toronto, Canada.My practice explores memory, nostalgia and the fleeting moment, drawing inspiration from personal anecdotes, various theoretical ideas from scholars like Friedrich Nietzsche, Michel Foucault and Jean Baudrillard, and more recently from studies pertaining to how technological reliance and idealization affects us in our mental, social and physical faculties. My work explores the crux of our experiences and perceptions, not quite referential to the real world, but not so imaginary to be completely undecipherable. With a background in photography, I gravitate toward light, careful compositions and perspective-based considerations in my work, and have built my practice around story-telling. From my understanding, art of all shapes, sizes, forms and origins has a story, and the way one gauges that story, whether they're the creator or the viewer is what drives me. The power of a story, a voice, is something so crucial in the arts, and revealing once its fully realized. In my sculpture practice, I consider mechanisms and systems familiar to our fundamental understanding of the world, and re-activate them by deconstructing, then re-applying them in a new setting. The act of reconfiguring objects and their mechanisms is a way of setting the inner truth free from these objects, to highlight alternate meanings that reveal much more than just a candid understanding.
