JENNA-KATHERYN HEINEMANN’S ART PRACTICE ENGAGES WITH CHALLENGING NORMATIVITY BY CREATING PIECES THAT CONCEPTUALLY SPEAK TO THEMES OF OBJECTHOOD, CARE ETHICS AND ALTERNATIVE FORMS OF KINSHIP. SHE AIMS TO CHALLENGE REPRESENTATIONAL FORMS THROUGH ABSTRACTION, AS A WAY TO DECONSTRUCT ONE’S FAMILIARITY AND RELATIONSHIP TO IDEAS AND OBJECTS. CRITICAL AND QUEER THEORIES ARE SIGNIFICANT THEMES WITHIN HER ARTISTIC PROCESS AS THEY THREAD TOGETHER AREAS OF FEELINGS, SEXUALITY, TECHNOLOGY AND SYSTEMIC OPPRESSION.
