Kenna came to know the Waldorf kindergarten first as a parent, then as an artist who saw in the stuff of the place an emblematic presentation of the spirit of childhood. The richly diverse images of toys, playthings and still lifes in this book ? the result of many photography sessions over several years ? may at first glance seem far removed from Kenna's famous landscapes and nocturnes. Yet in these exquisite compositions one sees Kenna's trademark visual and psychological sensitivity that, while focused on smaller objects, opens the larger doors of the senses where we can re-experience early childhood as a world in which fantasy and reality meet as equals in the chamber of the imagination.
