Chris Kenny’s work is made from scraps he gathers near a bush on Hampstead Heath. These aren’t sketches on paper—they’re tiny twigs and fragments of maps, glued and pinned to float like drawings. It’s part poetry, part puzzle, all arranged by hand. Kenny started this in the 1990s after making artist’s books and found-text pieces. He edits each scrap like a sentence, trimming and placing them until they feel just right. If this grabs you, check out artist’s books next—Kenny, Chris.
