BLOOMINGTON – The Waldron Arts Center opened its doors in 2024 with three new gallery exhibitions. Laura Greenwood presents Resonance in the Miller Gallery, a large-scale, interactive art installation. Through photography, Greenwood attempts to connect humans to nature and their surroundings, using sheer, floor-length fabric panels to display her images. Her work responds to the movements of its viewers, inspiring awe and reminding us of the delicate relationship between people and nature. Video and audio components share the sense of awe Greenwood experiences in her interactions with nature and attempt to evoke the same in viewers.
