McKinna Anderson is an American multidisciplinary artist based in Florida. Industrial materials, concrete, steel, wood, along with malleable and ephemeral objects, paper pulp, photographic dust, grown crystals, set the framework for her research driven practice of morphologically constructed sculptures, photo-based works, and multi-disciplinary installations.

Negotiating between the immediate, self-centric culture of a screen-based reality and the geologic, non-human sensation of big time, she orients her process-based practice around questions regarding systems of power and control and structures of truth and belief, to confront underlying themes of apathy, tension and futility.

Anderson received her BFA from the University of South Florida (2016) where she was awarded as a Research in Arts scholar, and earned her MFA from the University of Florida (2023) where she was awarded the Jerry Uelsmann scholarship, the Naomi Fawbush fund, and full graduate fellowship. She has exhibited in places such as New York City, NY, Berlin, Germany, Atlanta, GA, Tampa, FL, and Boston, MA, and was recently in a two-person exhibition curated by Maria Kelly. This year, Anderson was an artist in residence with Culterim Gallery in Berlin, Germany, as well as UA residency in Brooklyn, NY.
