Stacy Lynn Waddell
With a variety of transformative processes that include heat and laser technology, accumulation, embossing/debossing, interference and gilding, Stacy Lynn Waddell creates works that structure sites of intersection between both real and imagined aspects of history and culture. These points of intersection pose important questions related to authorship, beauty and the persuasive power of nationalistic ideology.
Waddell has participated in exhibitions at The Studio Museum in Harlem and the Brooklyn Museum in New York; Nasher Museum of Art, Durham, NC; Weatherspoon Art Museum, Greensboro, NC; The North Carolina Museum of Art, Raleigh, NC; The Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, Philadelphia, PA; Institute of Contemporary Art in Boston, MA; Columbia College, Chicago, IL; Speed Art Museum, Louisville, Kentucky; Atlanta Contemporary, among other venues. Her work is in the collections of The Nasher Museum of Art, The Weatherspoon Art Museum, The North Carolina Museum of Art, The Gibbes Museum of Art, The Studio Museum in Harlem, Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at the Brooklyn Museum, Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, among others.

Stacy Lynn Waddell lives and works in North Carolina. She has an MFA from the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
