'For me the landscape is psychologically complex.'
—Klea McKennaKlea McKenna’s (b. 1980) unique, tactile photogram, Portrait (Hybrid 1), presents a giant banana leaf, glowing in psychedelic shades of orange, pink, yellow and green against the deep, black background. Manifesting nature’s mesmerising vibrancy as well as its relentless volatility, this large, immersive work is part of McKenna’s series How Forests Think. To create these one-of-a-kind objects, McKenna used banana leaves gathered from the jungle at the foot of Kilauea volcano in South Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii, where she had spent her early childhood. Working outside and at night with the moonlight as her only light source, she placed the giant leaves directly on the light-sensitive papers, recording imprints of the landscape. ‘What I love about photograms is that the process demands a direct physical interaction between the medium and the subject,’ she explains. ‘In most cases they’ve actually touched and the subject has left a mark.’ For McKenna, the camera-less process is ‘like praying and like gambling’ and the performative nature of her image making leaves traces on the resulting works, which are at once mysterious and beautiful. The San Francisco-based artist has exhibited internationally and her photograms reside in such prominent institutions as the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles County Museum and the V&A, London.
