"Pose"

This exhibition features recent mixed-media works by WIU assistant professor of art Tim Waldrop. Each work is an exploration of the universal concept of "family." Topics such as social conditions, marriage, health issues, and family traditions are presented within the body of work. A juxtaposition of like and unlike imagery creates a result quite similar to that of a collage. Different times, different places, different people, but still connected through the random placement of familiar images.

Waldrop received his Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree from William Carey College in Gulfport, Mississippi and his Master of Fine Arts Degree from Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville, Illinois. His work has been included in group exhibitions and competitions throughout the United States.

This exhibition is supported by a WIU Foundation Summer Stipend Award and co-sponsored by the Department of Art and the College of Fine Arts and Communication.
