Built in his Long Island studio, the interiors reveal whimsical scenes from the natural world and freeze moments in time. The centerpiece of the show, Drones, 2016, consists of three illuminated and mirror-lined 30” x 36” cherry wood cases containing 47 Horseshoe Crab carapaces collected on Cape Cod. In his off hours, Tennant is the Editor In Chief & Creative Director of MAN of the WORLD magazine and a contributing Editor to Vanity Fair and Playboy.
