Sensënomàké Circus

A true collaboration in every aspect of concept and execution between Phyllis Kirk and Bronna Fenichel, the Sensënomàké Circus series satirizes modern western values using the circus as a symbol, and black and white performers juxtaposed upon colourful and brilliant backgrounds. The addition of  glitter further heightens the satirical expression. The unbounded energies of these worlds are best conveyed by expanding the works in every direction, from within the confines of the surfaces and edges of the canvases.   This collection of artwork is documented in a non-fiction book by Phyllis Kirk (2016) entitled Sensënomàké Circus: A Collaboration in Mixed Media. 
“The new release of Sênsënōmàké Circus by Phyllis Kirk is a sweet miracle! The story of our artistic collaboration is told in a world that privileges individualism and individual success, and marginalizes those who choose to work in truly collaborative ways. Phyllis, I am delighted that your book so successfully keeps what we shared, and our joy in the sharing alive.”    Bronna Fenichel
