BLOOMINGTON- Ushering in the spring of 2025, the Waldron announces three new shows. Aina Puce brings her first solo exhibition to the Educational Gallery. In Thin Slices of Time, Puce draws on her background as a neuroscientist to tell her own photographic story. Her work focuses on several things, one of which is catching singular moments in time, moments like no other. Puce also strives to highlight oft-overlooked details of images we see regularly, whether that is an architectural detail, the veins of a plant, or the symmetry of a view. Lastly, she works to capture a subject with minimal clutter. Aina will speak on her work during a gallery talk on Saturday, March 22, at 5 pm.
In the Spotlight Gallery, Terre Haute artist, Rod Bradfield, presents his show House Series. In this work, Bradfield challenged himself to work within the confines of a singular icon – the basic house shape. Using varying colors, he maintains the simplified form, a far cry from his usual highly detailed, and often humorous, work. Though the later images in this series demonstrate more personally significant iconography, Bradfield still maintains the geometric house shape. That, along with the uniform brown Canson paper and bright, graphic colors, create an easy flow throughout the space.
In the Miller gallery, Jennifer Herrold presents her show Renaissance Pinball. Herrold utilizes the familiar form of a pinball playfield to display the typical representative iconographies for individual saints. Often tongue-in-cheek, Herrold’s work is a new take on the particularly influential artistic period of the Renaissance. Wrought with religious symbolism, her work creates a blend between historical reverence and modern amusement. Incorporated into Renaissance Pinball is a 1977 Williams’ pinball machine, Argosy.
