“This collection of photographs is not so much a ‘body of work’ as it is ‘the work’ of my body moving through the ether of the pandemic during lockdown, in an effort to reclaim and bring close experiences I had taken for granted. There are no guarantees. The result is a transition from an isolated interior to a ‘hyper observant’ interpretation of a desolated, once populated exterior.”
– Preston Wadley, from his Artist Statement

Preston Wadley, born in Los Angeles, CA, is an artist and educator working in Washington State. He received his MFA from the University of Washington.
