John KennyRendille mother and child by John Kenny. 36 x 24" portrait with Acrylic Mount2011
2011
About the Item
Like the Maasai, Rendille women and their children keep their hair very short. This mother, however, leaves a tuft of hair remaining on the front of her child which has been bleached lighter by the powerful equatorial sun of their home.
A return to Kenya. On this trip John took a different approach to lighting. Building makeshift studios from locally acquired white sheets held up by four warriors and their spears! The suffuse light allows John 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.
