Lining the walls of Candice Madey gallery, the series is the centerpiece of light takes time to reach us, an exhibition of fourteen new works (all 2023) by Stacy Lynn Waddell, who transposes the art historical narratives of nineteenth-century American painting and midcentury photography into gilded compositions that speak to contemporary issues of climate change, inequity, and race.
Stacy Lynn Waddell’s gold and silverleaf works on paper embody a profound tension dazzling on the surface and revealing unsettling truths of exploitation just beneath.
