Influence – Kenna Doeringer

Your life can lead you to many crossroads, where you make your choices, and your past or what you want to have happen, can influence your decision. This selection can impact moments, people, things, or events in ways you could never imagine. Kenna Doeringer took the time to examine and break down some of these things, group them together, and present them to you to view, think about, laugh at, and even relate to.

Kenna Doeringer – Anthem

At first we fear change but once we learn to accept it, we can welcome and embrace it. Sometimes an evolution needs to be forced, causing a crack to form in the facade we create to protect ourselves, and see the light to start to break through. The light promoted the growth, it fed it, nurtured it, and cultivated it allowing expansion and continued development never imagined possible. “Anthem” is a visual representation of breaking through the illusion, allowing oneself to grow freely, and sharing the light with others. Anthropomorphizing these emotions as a freely formed amorphous structure it allowed for the cracks and imperfections to be embraced and enhanced. The light increases as the composition grows, and verges on dominating the entire canvas.

Kenna Doeringer – “A Perceived Sense of Silence”

Silence is defined as a complete absence of sound, and there are few places or situations that allow us to understand what that truly is. We see places as silent and serene, often missing the tone that makes up the world. The subtleties that are overlooked, the everyday that is often ignored, but when we sit and listen to the silence, what do we hear? A Perceived Sense of Silence asks you to travel with the artist to various places and listen. It is a challenge to your perception of the intensity of sound and the true power of silence.

A departure from her previous work, Kenna Doeringer is incorporating her past experiences as a sound recordist and editor in an audio installation at Axis Gallery. A Perceived Sense of Silence is a passion project that has allowed her to explore and share with you what a silent world sounds like and how loud our lives really are.
