"Un-natural Acts" by Frances Kenna

One color stone litho on cream stock, 1981.

I just scanned this lithograph by Frances Kenna titled "Unnatural Acts". Its not numbered or dated but it's on a rough cream paper. It's obviously a drag queen.

I think she told me she saw this gal in San Francisco.

It's in terrible condition because it's been laying around the Uptop farmhouse for twenty years but it's clearly worthy of saving.

Frances is an artist and art teacher (you would have loved to have Ms. Kenna) originally from South Carolina. She lived the last twenty or so years in Preston County, West Virginia and a part of that was spent living in a barn. She does ceramics, as well as graphic work. One of my favorite Frances' pieces is a vase that takes the form of a cow's pendulous belly with udders.
