The Yamabushi series reflects a two-year collaboration with writer and artist Rick McIntire Rather than illustrate each chapter of his novel by the same title, Kharis Kennedy’s twenty-one paintings follow the narrative’s tonal progression. The title of each painting is taken from the title of the chapter it represents. As always the world ends in haute couture.
