David Waddell

David Waddell presents his latest endeavors in stop-motion animation, which include a robotic moving species. Pulled out of a collaged world which has been pieced together from a range of magazine images, these subjects come to life by mimicking actions of living organisms found in this world. The viewer is confronted with both old and new technologies that describe cultural views of evolution, monstrosity and the unfamiliar. The images are pared down to botanical and specie studies and recontextualized with the help of slide projections of environment in combination with a wall installation.

David Waddell is currently a resident at Lawndale Art Center. He is the Director of Media Studies at the High School for the Performing and Visual Arts. He has shown his films most recently at the Aurora Picture Show and Fotofest. He has shown work in Chicago, New York, and Washington D.C.
