About Preston Wadley

He collects these elements over time, making pairs of image and object and setting them into a structure resembling a book set into a custom clamshell case. Preston Wadley's represents a personal re-examination of life/history through the filter of his lived experience. Formally, Wadley seek to contextualize found/fabricated objects and selected photographs into a juxtaposition that illuminates lived experience and personal truth. Wadley's work is evidence of change, of historical revision and reflection on the connection to what has already been and an ever-evolving present.
