Ingvar Kenne All of John’s work has a seductive effect on me. I am drawn in so hard, that I sometimes have to pull out, just to come up for air. I am not sure I understand his intentions (If he indeed have any). All I know is that I have to keep looking and be in dialogue with the work. The Romance Industry was the first project and book of his I came across and it opened me up to most of his other work. In that book are still the images I treasure the most. Maybe because it seems to be a commission, rather than a self-assigned project?
