This photograph is from the series, "Generation". To create this image McKenna embossed a piece of photographic paper using a vintage textile made and worn by women, to create ‘photographic rubbings’ or ‘reliefs’. She then exposed the relief to light using only a flashlight, resulting in an image that is physically and visual textured. McKenna calls the resulting photograms ‘representational photographs’; images that are less connected to traditional photographic ideas relating to ‘taking’ pictures, instead privileging the elements of magic, risk and experimentation that are intrinsic to the photographic medium.
