Who is Joseph Kinnebrew
…it’s a story that requires a few digressions, and as much discussion of what is not, as what is. A long and wide-ranging conversation with Kinnebrew (there is no other kind) will likely visit the fields of ethics, anthropology, physics, theology and of course fine art along with Studio One a lab for experimentation and new ideas. (He is an auto didactic polymath.) He pursues art and life with great passion and optimism. and has been criticized for being too eclectic for work seen as to diverse. This is most likely due to the viewers pre-focused expectations. Certainly it is easier to understand something, or someone, if we can categorize them, reduce them to a component we have already figured out. Kinnebrew’s personality just doesn’t allow this.
