May 6 - June 25, 2022
From Arts Fort Worth:
“Claire Kennedy is a multidisciplinary artist from Cincinnati, Ohio. She is currently a graduate candidate at the University of North Texas, where she will receive her MFA in Drawing and Painting in May 2022.
In this exhibition I am considering constellatory thinking as a means to weave relationships between objects in space. By utilizing my own collection of visual motifs and forms I am constructing a personal narrative. Creating a system of inter-connectivity between these forms will allow for a dynamic experience of textures and tactility. I intend for viewers to navigate around the objects on the floor, walls, and plinths, discovering intimate details within each piece. The work will be lumpy, awkward, haphazard, precarious, goofy, bright, and playful. In this body of work, the mark of my hand will be emphasized within small hand built sculptures.”

Join Arts Fort Worth for an artist talk with Claire Kennedy and Victoria Gonzales, who will discuss the common themes in their solo exhibitions. Kennedy’s exhibition ‘One Fingers, Once Hand’ finds the artist creating her own language by mediating on found and fabricated objects, then placing them strategically to converse with each other and the viewer, while breaking away from the expectations of the material and space. In the exhibition ‘Into a Spacious Place’ Gonzales creates a record of mundane yet impactful experiences of everyday life. Memory and space create a visual narrative of the physical and metaphorical ways [she] navigates the world around [her]. Space is sometimes a place of comfort or other times a souvenir of a distant event.
