Generation
McKenna's body of work "Generation" Uses a printing press to imprint the texture of vintage textiles from women's fashion history into silver gelatin paper before exposing the embossed surface to light, creating a textural photogram. An LA Times review of a 2018 exhibition of this work notes that the textile used "...date from the 1890s to the 1960s and represent women’s wear from the U.S., India, Mexico, China and Europe."[5]
