Katie Kenny
The Unconventional Shed

Kenny’s work investigates the patriarchal authority and marginalisation of women in a male-dominated, agricultural environment. Only 12 percent of farmers in Ireland are female. The Unconventional Shed is a video installation. The shed reflects her body height. Inside the shed there is a television mounted to the wall over a trough of hay. She uses the colour pink as a way of dismantling stereotypes. The shed was built on her family farm in Wexford.
