John Kenny
Some Eyes Have Seen by John Kenny. 36 x 24" portrait with Acrylic Face-Mount

2008

About the Item

John met this Wodaabe girl who was carrying her young child in a remote market village called Sakabal in the far north of Niger’s Maradi province. Like many Wodaabe women, she had many permanent tattoos on her face; you can clearly see the tattoos on her forehead, across her nose, and at the sides of her mouth. The Wodaabe are nomadic pastoralists whose lives are in constant motion as they seek water and pasture for their long horned cattle, sheep, goats, and camels. This remote and inhospitable Sahel region results in a life of extreme challenge. John Kenny’s work is all shot on location in some of the remotest corners of Africa. His images are all taken with natural light and his subjects in their day to day attire. The C-type prints are mounted with an acrylic face mount giving them a 3-dimensional appearance and a contemporary look. Edition of 12 Presentation: Acrylic face mounted C-type print Signed by the Artist Certificate of Authenticity Country: Niger Culture: Wodaabe Year: 2008 Frame: Acrylic face-mounted Size: 36" x 24"
