Stacy Lynn Waddell’s images of tropical landscapes call into question attitudes toward coastal ecologies enduring inclement, even violent, weather. In response to works by well-known artist Winslow Homer, such as the drawing of windswept palms suggestive of high winds and potentially damaging storms located on the adjacent wall, Waddell created this brightly colored and metallicized tropical sunset. Her work points out the contradiction between idealized views of paradise and the damage caused by human-made climate change on those marine ecosystems.
