February 10 - March 7, 2025
From Tarrant County College:
“TCC SE Art Corridor Gallery is proud to present the exhibition Kenna Boles Prior: Passages. This exhibition opens to the public on February 10 and runs through March 7. The opening reception is February 13, from 2:00-4:00pm with an artist talk at 2:15pm.
For this body of work, Prior became inspired by an abandoned house near her studio. She took photographs of the exterior and interior spaces using a 35 mm camera. Then a process of several steps was used to create the final image, including double exposures, photogravure with inked plates, and chine Collé. The result are images that are eerie, perhaps nostalgic, and could hint at a variety of narratives.
The artist explains, “The original family long gone, the house was visited or lived in or vandalized by the homeless, drug dealers, bored kids and others, like me, curious about what is left. Passages is recognizing those who have walked or peered into these spaces and the stories I do not know.”
Prior works in Cedar Hill at her historically restored studio – The Purple Farmhouse. She began her career as a freelance designer for craft periodicals and then became interested in fine art media and especially printmaking. Her work has been exhibited locally and statewide and she has participated in PrintAustin’s PrintEXPO + Steamroller event since 2020. In the summer of 2024, she completed a residency at the Dogwood Canyon Audubon Center which included a solo exhibition. She served on the Texas Visual Arts Association board and is currently on the board of the Texas Jewish Arts Association and is a member of Art House Dallas.”
