Tananna (she/they) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Redruth, Cornwall and a recent Fine Art graduate from Falmouth University. Her practice explores the intersections of identity, ecology, and mythology, investigating the entanglement of land, bodies, and narratives.

Through collage, poetry, performance, moving-image, installation, and costume, Tananna engages with myth and folklore as living, evolving ecosystems. These narratives are transformed into immersive worlds that invite deeper reflection on interconnectedness.

Tananna is drawn to stories of deep time, particularly those that have been forgotten yet remain woven into the collective fabric. She seeks these stories out and brings them to her compost heap, where they break down, transform, and are reimagined into new worlds.

She works with fragments of matter: a roadside offering, a pile of tea-stained lace. Gathered from the discarded and overlooked, these materials become integral to the work, carrying their own quiet histories. Often domestic in origin, these objects are reassembled into sacred forms, rituals, and altars that resist linear time and embrace cyclical regeneration.

At its core, Tananna’s work seeks to dismantle binaries between human and nonhuman, body and environment, self and collective. This ongoing multispecies exploration positions storytelling as a sacred act - one that allows us to feel and remember what has long been buried.
