While Magnhild Kennedy’s masks certainly hide their wearer’s identity, they won’t leave you inconspicuous. Working as Damselfrau, the East London-based artist stitches elaborate disguises from a range of found materials. Beads, feathers, fringe, and various glitzy baubles layer onto mesh panels, sometimes in the form of bright, owl-like eyes or a gilded, regal headdress.

Kennedy is in a quieter period of her practice at the moment, working slowly and intentionally on her garments. In addition to the studio pieces, she’s also been hosting maker parties that invite friends and community members to join in the creative process. Follow the latest on Instagram.
