About the Item

John Kenny met this Gabbra woman on the road to Kolal in Northern Kenya in 2019. John uses simple natural light and builds primitive makeshift studios from locally acquired white sheets! The suffuse light allows him to capture a remarkable level of detail. His subjects calm demeanor belies the reality of harsh arid winds, extreme temperatures and dust. The C-type prints are mounted with an acrylic face mount giving them a 3-dimensional appearance and a contemporary look. Edition of 25 Presentation: Unmounted C-type print Signed by the Artist Certificate of Authenticity Country – Kenya Culture – Gabbra Year – 2019 Frame- Print only Size - 26.5" x 18"
