Collage Portraits

Kirsty McKenzie’s work depicts portraits of colourful characters with queer and feminist themes, defying sexual and gender stereotypes. She mainly works with painting, drawing and mixed media collage, but also creates wearable art and video installations. Her collages are whimsical and surreal, often with cat imagery, and the 6th chakra or “3rd eye”. She explores the objectification of women, and the feminine identity; interwoven with themes of obsession and addiction.
