Entitled ‘She Kissed a Moose and She Liked It,’ Laura Kenney’s work bridges the lines of fine craft, contemporary art and folk traditions. - ContributedWOLFVILLE, N.S. — Textile artist Laura Kenney has installed her twin activist Judy at the Acadia University Art Gallery.

Generally sporting red rubber boots, Judy gets into the thick of whatever’s topical or political. Kenney describes Judy as a bit of a superhero with vestiges of her and her mother. “Judy wants to save the planet from climate change and to never have to make dinner again. The big and the small: she takes it on.”

Former Prime Minister Jean Chretien was a catalyst for Kenney circa 1998 when Canada’s lighthouses were defunded. In 2016, Kenney had her first solo show at Mary E. Black Gallery in Halifax and a selection of her work was included in Terroir, a survey of art in the province at the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia.
