About the Exhibit

The total eclipse in North Texas on April 8, 2024, was a once-in-a-century event that energized the community and much of the nation.

This exhibition commemorates the Trailblazers’ Total Eclipse event at TCC Southeast. Hundreds of students, staff, and community members came to TCC Southeast to celebrate Totality together.

The following TCC photographers captured the event and the eclipse itself:  

  • Josh Niccolai-Belfi

About the Exhibit

On exhibit are 44 artworks, including:

  • Woodblock prints
  • Hand-printed t-shirts
  • Print and mixed media wall installations

Originally a strict acrylic and oil painter, Molina has expanded his use of multimedia in printmaking. He has been using painting and printmaking to explore insects and cultural identity.

Molina says of his work:

[It is] primarily rooted in printmaking, draws inspiration from diverse sources that shape each piece.

Currently, I am captivated by the concept of ‘Lotería,’ a traditional Mexican bingo-like game that replaces letters and numbers with symbolic images. In this series, I challenged myself to reinterpret the visual and cultural associations of the original game, creating a collection of woodblock prints with subtly coded imagery. 

In addition to ‘Lotería,’ this body of work is also influenced by the history and cultural significance of October. The eerie atmosphere of the month, along with its connections to horror films and the Halloween holiday, inspired a selection of pieces that explore themes of fear, folklore, and the macabre.

About the Artist

He was raised in a military family moving from Germany to the United States as a child.

After earning his B.F.A. from Stephen F. Austin State University, Molina joined the U.S. Army Infantry and was deployed to Iraq and the Philippines. While serving, he was heavily involved in creating platoon logos and designs. After returning from his first duty station in Alaska, Molina completed an M.F.A. in Painting and Printmaking from Texas A&M Corpus Christi.
