Calmness in the squares of Michael Kenna

December 11, 2023

I’ve known about Kenna’s work for sometime but have only recently taken a deep dive. I’m absorbed. Such careful meaningful consideration of the frame - simply beautiful. So calming. It’s really got me thinking about the power of the square. Another idea to explore.

This blog exists primarily for my own benefit. It's a way for me to engage in more reflection, and slowing the pace of life down.
