Kenza is a Norwich based destructive artist working with the medium of ceramics who is mainly known for shooting vases with a gun.
By utilising brutal and violent methods of creation, such as shooting with a gun, the outcome is totally unique and unpredictable. Kenza has coined her technique as destructive pottery, she sees her artworks as process driven, where the creation is just as important as the outcome. By juxtaposing the peaceful medium of ceramics with violent acts she creates beautifully striking pieces.
Kenza has multiple series; such as the shot series, the hit series and the flop series. Her first ever Shot Vase was displayed in the exhibition "Mutiny in Colour" alongside Banksy, Kaws, Damien Hirst, Pure Evil, Tracy Emin and many more in 2023 and the shot series was showcased in our 2024 exhibition 'Wounded' a solo show which followed her journey for the last 9 years of shooting pottery.
About her hit series Kenza says: ''It’s the unpredictability of the outcome after a punch for me''
