I find that Chris Kenny's work explains something to me about my personal psychology. In fact, I sort of find his work a kind of therapy for the procedural mindset that's underwritten so much art in this decade. For me, it indicates contemporary resonances from that great period in American intellectual history where being an intellectual involved being a naturalist: drawing, creating taxonomies, etc. From his gallery:

Chris Kenny's three-dimensional "drawings" and collage-constructions are made from fragments of maps, strips of found text, or even twigs: objects or phrases of the same type are mounted on pins and organized in a way that suggests an intention to rationalize the differences between them.
