† † † The Northeast Texas Community College Art Department is hosting its first art exhibit of the 2016-2017 academic year in the foyer of the Whatley Center for the Performing Arts. Selections of photography by Danea Males, NTCC Adjunct Instructor of Photography and Art Appreciation, entitled ?Not My Home? will be on display through September 29.
† † † In her artist statement, Males says that this body of work contains documentary images from her travels around East Texas and the world.
† † † ?For years, I have been visually exploring the American landscape. I adore a road trip, and have driven all over the United States. What makes me stop and make a photograph is often some magical combination of cultural or religious significance,? Males said. ??I am a tourist, and an anthropologist parading as a photographer. Making these images is my continued commitment to science, faith and understanding."art department hosts photography exhibit
