Melting point
Rare Books
"I live in a meltdown period, when old norms of politics, religion and even photography are changing. Melting is a transformation, one form dissolves, another emerges. When I face endings I sometimes fear what comes after. As I raise the camera to my eye and see the world's complexity, my fears melt. I'm graced with fresh energy. In working from the paradox of a curious melding of beauty and fear these photographs emerged"--From introduction.

Retrospective two
Rare Books
"How can a sustained thirty-year career be an aberration? This is a time of turbulence and edge, but should we dismiss someone who knows that and yet consciously chooses to make pictures that offer order, harmony, and respite? The energy that critics may wish to be in his work is expended in the doing, in the creation of over a dozen separate, coherent projects and thousands of single images. With the same discipline that he applies to long distance running, Kenna distills and refines. He is not turning off his critical faculties, but rather employs them to pay homage. The rebel in Kenna responds, 'I derive so much satisfaction from photography precisely because I've had the luxury of not caring what the art world thinks of my work. I have been able to use the medium as a way to help choose my personal journey or pilgrimage through this life. Most of the places I've photographed I chose because I wanted to acknowledge them and indeed pay homage to them...I haven't tried to be different or break any rules. I couldn't care less what the rules are anyway.'"--From introduction.

Poo-chi
Rare Books
Artist's Statement: "My artwork deals with the interaction between the real and the imaginary. My images arouse complex emotional responses: excitement, fear, and disgust. Extended viewing of my work reveals illusion and proves that seeing is deceiving. In the Poo Chi series, I transform adult (both male and female) anatomy into provocatively suggestive young girl's anatomy to elicit forbidden desires. The images reveal a child's desire for adult attention and at the same time expose adult fears of desire towards a sexualized child. Poo-Chi seduces the viewer to consider the ubiquity of forbidden desires. The imagery suggests penetration, however, no orifices exist within the image -- they only exist within the viewer's mind."
