Waddell’s breathtaking new work, “STANDING BACK VIEW N**E SELF WITH OPEN HANDS ON BUTTOCKS” is a tour de force in texture and form. Spanning an impressive 77 x 46 inches, this monumental work combines collagraph, collage, and embossment on Kizuki Hosho and Mulberry papers, mounted on Hahnemühle Bright White paper in an edition of 10.
