KLEA MCKENNA (BORN 1980) Automatic Earth #38, 2017 Unique gelatin silver photogram; signed, titled, and dated in pencil on the reverse, framed. 23 1/4 x 19 5/8 in. (59.1 x 50 cm.) Footnotes: Provenance Euqinom Gallery, San Francisco Acquired from the above by the present owner Note 'Automatic Earth refers to what I see as a 'blue print' that exists within nature; a plan within each organism to automatically generate a particular form or pattern that is then, inevitably flawed. I approach these broken patterns within the landscape as allegories for human emotional experience. It is where the pattern breaks that we are told something: a draught, a trauma, an interaction, the slash of a chainsaw.... a crack in the earth. The flaws in these pre-destined forms become a record of time and of labor and they tell the story of the life that made them. 'These 'photographic rubbings' are a type of photogram made on traditional photographic fiber paper. They are hand-embossed imprints of cross-sections of trees that are made in darkness then exposed to light and in some cases collaged together.' -- Klea McKenna Lot to be sold without reserve.
